CELEBRATION!
Celebration!, an official ministry of the United Methodist Church, Texas Conference, is a woman-to-woman ministry of sharing, encouraging, discipling and mentoring in the faith.  Its focus is on presenting the truth and beauty of the message of salvation, healing, renewal and restoration in a manner that reaches the inner woman.  Celebration! was founded on Luke 4:18-19, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.  He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."  Each Celebration! gathering includes powerful praise and worship, an inspiring message, refreshments, door prizes and more.  Admission is free and childcare is provided.

You must experience Celebration! to fully grasp the scope of this exciting ministry.  For more information, visit www.celebrationministries.org  or call Rebecca Pickett 713-502-1421.

STITCHES OF GLORY
This group of women provides new clothing for the needy, as well as craft and clothing items for hospitals and children.  They also make clothing and stuffed toys for Port Houston and youth mission trips. 

If you enjoy sewing or would like to learn, come join us each Monday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at our Westchase Campus in the Youth Bldg. for dinner, fellowship, fun, and sewing!  No sewing experience is required. Sewing machines and fabric are provided.

This active group of ladies also holds an annual craft sale with proceeds benefiting First Methodist Houston's Missions Ministry.

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
The United Methodist Women (UMW) is a group of women organized with the purpose of knowing God, supporting each other and promoting global missions through participation.  This community strives to follow Christ's teachings to do acts of justice, mercy and faith and to serve one another on an equal basis.  As Jesus said, "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all."  Mark 9:35

Faith and prayer are at the heart of this community.  In partnership with God, faith and prayer are powerful enough to move mountains.  Over the years, women organized for mission have moved many mountains.  During more than a century of service, the organization has grown from the mustard seed of a few women to a fully-branched tree of life with millions of members.

Our local UMW Unit hosts four General Meetings annually.  These meetings are open to all women who share a passion for Christ and His people.  While the General Meetings are a wonderful opportunity for the membership at large to gather and affirm our purpose, the real fun takes place in the small groups or Circles. 

 For more information about our Circles or our local unit of United Methodist Women please contact Susan Gallman at: susangallman@sbcglobal.net or 281-256-0696.

WESLEY ACADEMY MOM'S PRAYER GROUP
This dedicated group of moms meets weekly during the school year to pray for the students and faculty of Wesley Academy. The group is open to all women who love the Lord and His children and have a heart for prayer.  During the school year, join us on Tuesdays from 8:15 a.m. to 9 a.m. in Room 236 of Wesley Academy.  For more information, please contact Debbie Tipps at: tippsfamily@comcast.net or 281-293-7373.

WOMEN'S RETREAT MINISTRY
The Women's Retreat Ministry supports women in deepening their relationship with God through the practice of daily personal private prayer and quiet time, through the practice of allied spiritual disciplines and through relationships with others who share like commitments. Each year there are spring and fall weekend retreats.

For more information about Women's Retreat Ministry please contact Cindy Warren, Lay Director, at: cindy_warren@skillsoft.com.

WOMEN OF THE WORD
Come and join us for Bible Study on Sunday Mornings from 10 - 11 a.m. We are a diverse group of ladies from all backgrounds, ages and ethnicities. What we do have in common is an earnest desire to study the scriptures and have a more intimate walk with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We love God's Holy Word and we love His people. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Roxanne Worsham at: rworsham@fmhouston.com or 713-724-4042. We can't wait to see you! God's richest blessings upon you and your family!
