Although mandated by the United Methodist Church, this group is integral to our community life at Foundry. Each year the group sponsors one of Foundry s most popular retreats, just for women. In a number of ways, this group seeks to lead through its service to building stronger community life at Foundry. The United Methodist Women at Foundry are dedicated to service and mission through steadfast support of both Foundry's community and worldwide mission projects. The United Methodist Women support Foundry and domestic and overseas mission work through activities like sewing lap robes and stuffed animals for D.C. General Hospital, visiting the patients and residents of Asbury Home, and providing Saturday meals for seminary students.
Small groups meet frequnetly in households all around the city.
A newsletter, fellowship at the church, and regular churchwide events support the entire group. Family Ministries Foundry seeks to nurture all families that comprise our community. In particular, activities are planned where children, youth, all adults, and seniors work together, play, and learn while growing in their spiritual life, in service, and in their lives together as a family. Recreational outings, service projects and our annual Foundry Camp weekend are all a part of Family Ministries. Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Group Foundry welcomes all people.
