The United Methodist Women are 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.  Our mission focus is on Women and Children.

UMW is divided into 3 circles that meet monthly Sept. - June.  The circles are groups of women, bound in Christian love, who enjoy each other’s company.  They support one another, and strive to support missions for women and children. 

We are a group of women who meet monthly Sept. – June to support each other through fellowship and prayer and to support missions for women and children through United Methodist Women. Meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month 1pm – 2:30pm in room 207 at the church unless otherwise posted in the Trinity Trawler, on the website and in the Sunday bulletin. We have devotions, a program and refreshments, with time to enjoy each other’s company. We invite all women of the church to join us at a meeting and see what we are about. Please enter the church through the door to the church office and take the elevator to the second floor. If you have any questions, please call Lydia Kelso, circle chair, at 910-253-6135 or e-mail her at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

The Marie Royal Circle meets the second Tuesday in the month at 10:00 a.m. in Murrow Fellowship Hall.  The Marie Royal Circle was known for years as the Susanna Wesley Circle. Marie was dedicated to missions, sang in the choir, Chairman of the circle several times and served as President for the United Methodist Women. To thank Marie for her dedication and service to the church and Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Marie Royal Circle was named in her honor.  

The ladies of the Marie Royal Circle are dedicated to serving God through the mission programs of the United Methodist Church. The ladies participate in a variety of programs and projects during the year. We join the other circles each year to celebrate a wonderful Fall Festival, which includes a cookie walk, crafts, and many other exciting events. The ladies have a love for each other, the congregation, and the community. Come join us and make new and special friends.

A successful and fun way to meet the Trinity family has been our Dinner for Six sometimes seven group. For three months in the fall and three months in the spring groups of three couples get together for dinner and fellowship in homes.  The fall suppers culminate with a Christmas dinner at the church and the spring suppers end with a May beach picnic. We welcome all in the church who are interested in participating, and we are always glad to have new people join us.  To sign up or for further information, contact Bill or Teenie Edwards at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
