Methodist Women's Fellowship
This year, our programs are focusing on learning about what is available in our community. We want to become more aware of "what's going on". We have speakers who will talk about the Volunteer Bureau, City Council, Friends of the Library, Tulare Historical Museum, and the Senior Center.

We meet on the second Tuesdays, January - May, and September - December. Our programs will begin at 10:00 a.m., with a business meeting immediately following. There will be a short snack break. If you choose to stay, there will be about an hour of Devotional/Study. (The Upper Room will be used in February. We will decide more after the first Devotional Time.)

We have two main fundraising events a year - Spring Dinner and Harvest Dinner. The proceeds go to the charitable organizations and needs of the Church. We welcome all women. You do not have to be a member of our church to participate. Please join us.

The Methodist Women's Fellowship at Tulare United Methodist Church is a vibrant community dedicated to fostering spiritual growth, friendship, and service. Committed to the principles of faith, love, and compassion, our fellowship provides a supportive environment where women from all walks of life can come together to deepen their relationship with God and each other.

Through regular meetings, prayer circles, and engaging discussions, we strive to uplift and empower one another in our faith journey. Additionally, our fellowship actively engages in various outreach initiatives and charitable endeavors, extending our hands of love and support to those in need within our church family and the wider community. Join us as we continue to grow in faith, serve with love, and make a positive difference in the lives of others.
