Church Community Changes Lives Becky Vinson Finds Connections Across Generations Through UMW Becky was interested in United Methodist Women (UMW) and had considered attending a UMW meeting, so three years ago after traveling with a few of the UMW Circle 12 members on the Honduras Mission trip, she accepted their invitation to join them at one of their monthly meetings. What Becky likes most about UMW is the intergenerational aspect of the group, and she learns a lot from the wisdom and knowledge of the women in her circle. She has discovered that UMW is a great way to get involved in the activities of Decatur First UMC, and cherishes the meaningful relationship that she shares with the women of Circle 12. Becky encourages other young women to join UMW, to ensure the intergenerational facet of the circles continues.
