St. Luke's United Methodist Women

Who are we?

A Community of Women…

…Like YOU!

We are women who find meaning in our church and want to combine fellowship with study, worship and outreach opportunities. We are women with gifts to share with others. We seek to realize our own sense of purpose and commitment to God within a supportive community.

Joining this group of committed women is a unique opportunity no matter who you are or where in your life you are at this moment. It’s an opportunity to move in harmony with other women who have been responding to this Purpose for over one hundred years.

If you are interested in becoming involved and need more information, please contact Co-Chairs: Lucie Elmer (Operations, Events, MarketPlace) at ladyluck@embarqmail.com or Heather Engelhardt (Studies, Small Groups, Missions) at rhengelhardt1@cfl.rr.com.
