UMW Reading Program

Purpose
The purpose of the Reading Program is to encourage United Methodist Women:
  • to expand the understanding and participation in God's mission
  • to increase sensitivity to all human beings - their needs, interests, and concerns.
  • to encourage critical thinking about issues facing humanity today
  • to grow in understanding of scripture as it relates to Christian faith in contemporary life
  • to enhance self-knowledge and to act from that knowledge
  • to strengthen involvement in local and global Christian missions.
