Alpha-Omega Circle
Love to Read? Join the Alpha-Omega Circle! Suncreek United Methodist Women has a Christian Book Club! The Book Club is called the Alpha-Omega Circle, and meets once a month on Friday mornings, September through May. Each September we choose four books from the UMW Reading Program to read during the upcoming year, one from each of the Reading Program categories (Spiritual Growth, Education for Mission, Social Action, and Nurturing for Community). In addition, we choose Christian books from other sources that we would like to read and discuss in the upcoming months. The group usually meets at 9:00am on the first Friday of the month. Childcare is available, but please make reservations ahead of time. For more information contact Valerie Dalton.

Mother Daughter Banquet
The UMW hosts an annual Mother-Daughter Banquet on a Friday evening in May. The event includes dinner, door prizes, and a program. Invite your mother, mother in law, daughter, or a special friend to be your guest. Tickets are sold in advance. The male Suncreek youth serve as waiters for the evening. Proceeds from the event and tips given to the waiters go to support the Summer Youth Mission Trips.
Wesley Rankin Benefit
The UMW is a supporter of the annual benefit for the Wesley Rankin Center that occurs in November. Wesley Rankin is a community center in West Dallas that provides support, education, and hope to the West Dallas community. It was founded in 1902 by women from six Methodist Churches. In the past, the Suncreek UMW has supported the annual benefit by addressing invitations and decorating the room.
UMW Library
The Suncreek UMC United Methodist Women Library is currently located on the shelves between the kitchen and Room A105. To checkout a book from the UMW Library, write your name, phone number, and the date on the card located in the pocket on the inside front cover of the book. Leave the card in the box provided.
The majority of the Library’s books are from the UMW Reading Program list. This program offers a well-rounded approach to reading and growing in your faith. If you read one book per year from each category, and read Response magazine regularly, you will have completed the Annual Reading Program. You can complete the Reading Program at higher levels by reading additional books from the various categories.
The library’s books are color-coded to indicate what category they are in:
| Spiritual Growth | Yellow |
| Education for Mission | Green |
| Social Action | Red |
| Nurturing Community | Blue |
There are also Reading Program books for children and youth. See the brochure next to the UMW Library for more details.
