We connect spiritual women to act boldly for justice and transform communities. There are so many ways to make an impact.

The UWiF Reading Program Leads to Action!

For 140 years, members of the United Women in Faith and its predecessor organizations have been involved in mission that includes prayer, study and action. The Reading Program is a study opportunity, but it should also lead to action. The purpose of the program is to encourage members to:
     Expand understanding of and participation in God's mission.
         Increase sensitivity to all human beings-their needs, interests and concerns.
         Encourage critical thinking about issues facing humanity today.
         Grow in understanding of Scripture as it relates to Christian faith in contemporary life.
         Enhance self-knowledge and act from that knowledge.
         Strengthen involvement in local and global Christian mission.

BACK PACK MINISTRY

Our Backpack Ministry enables children to have school supplies when they begin the school year. Our backpacks bring smiling faces and grateful hearts. This ministry makes a difference in someone's day. A special thank you to Sue Damon who has very successfully coordinated this project every year and to those who purchase the needed supplies and pack the backpacks. As always, none of this would happen without the caring support of the St. Paul's church family and Pennies for Mission contributions.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE

Operation Christmas Child: The UWiF would like to thank everyone for their continued support of Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse, has touched the lives of millions of hurting children since 1993 by distributing gift-filled shoe boxes and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ in crisis areas of the world.
