THE LIBRARY'S SERVICE HOURS ARE:

SUNDAYS FROM 10 TO 12:30 P.M.

WEDNESDAYS FROM 5 TO 8 P.M.

All other days, the library is open to its patrons with checking out books done on an honor system. Simply sign the library card in the back of each item and leave card(s) in the box at the check out area. Then stamp with the date due stamp on the date due slip in the back of each item. Books may be returned in the receptacle under the book display window at any time.

The DUMC Library/Media Center has over 7000 volumes of book and non-book items. Items are loaned for a month. An outside depository for returning items is conveniently located in the hallway under the book display window. An integrated collection that allows all non-book items (audiovisuals) to be shelved along with the books, the library also has a “ready reference” section. If you’re searching for something on Paul, for example, you will find cassettes, video, etc. located with the books on Paul. The History Room is located in the front of the library.

Who We Are:

An organized local unit of the United Methodist Women shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.

What We Do:

There are currently 10 UMW Circles at DUMC. We represent age groups from 20-somethings through 90+ years old. Each group meets monthly to engage in fellowship, mission work, Bible study, and fun. We bring in speakers on various subjects, feed the homeless, donate time and materials to community charities, work together on global mission projects, participate in Bible studies, provide support to fellow members who are sick, grieving, or having babies, and much, much more.

How You Can Become Involved:

Check out the descriptions of the Circles listed below. If you see one you think matches your interests, call or email the Chairperson and let her know you would like to visit a meeting.

Aim for 2012:

To experience spiritual renewal as Biblical women, while enjoying the Living Water of Jesus Christ.

Scripture:

“O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” Psalm 63:1
