PURPOSE
The Organized Unit of United Methodist Women
shall be 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.
PLEDGE
I pledge my prayers, that I may experience growth
and renewal in my relationship to God,
to my sisters and brothers;
my time, that I may respond to human need
through study, action and reflection;
my gifts, through United Methodist Women,
that I may share in the
Global Ministries of the church.
From your president:
“Publish Glad Tidings, Tidings of peace
Tidings of JESUS, redemption and release.”
This is the chorus of hymn # 573
O Zion, Haste
Do we as United Methodist Women heed its mission-like instruction?
Do we publish the glad tidings of our relationship with God, our relationship with each other, and our mission work around the world?
Our theme for 2008 calls us to
PUBLISH GLAD TIDINGS
P.S. If you haven’t been active in our unit of United Methodist Women, I do invite you to give “ it” a try. You might even find you like “it”. You will be warmly welcomed!
