SISTERHOOD OF SURVIVING SPOUSES
This group exists separately from the United Methodist Women, but it is unique to women. They do not answer to the term 'widow', preferring the more positive term of 'survivor.'  Concentrating on finding happiness again and a new, true, joy of living, this group meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 4:00 in the church parlor for a time of study and sharing.  They often schedule outings as well - such as going to the movies, a planetarium, nature center, or just out to eat. They're always open to new ideas.  If you qualify, come bring yours!
