Small Groups

Thursdays @ 10am
Meeting weekly, both on campus and via Zoom, this class is open to everyone. The scripture and a reflection for the following Sunday’s service is emailed ahead of time, then read and discussed in class. This is not your run-of-the-mill Bible study, but a true exploration of scripture! Some choose to attend weekly others come when they are available.

UWF is an active group of women that welcomes ALL women! From September to June, Sue Kelly and Kathy Myers teach a class called “Living in the Kin-dom” on the first Wednesday of the month in the Disciple Room at 9:30 a.m.

On most third Wednesdays of the month, UWF has a program, often with a guest speaker and a dinner. We are a sisterhood of learning, serving others, and promoting social justice. There are no dues, no age requirement, no long-term commitment, although we hope that once you join us for a class or an activity you will want to come back!
