UNITED WOMEN IN FAITH

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without [God’s] unfolding grace. [...] There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever. - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Mission U 2021

Mission U 2021 was held July 12-24. UMW Mission u this year, like many activities in our lives, moved online. While virtual, we still created spaces for spiritual community, lifelong friendships, lessons that change us and our communities, and spiritual practices that arrive when we need them most. In a time when it looks like things are falling apart on us, God’s grace is still unfolding and life is being made new!

Indeed: There’s far more here than meets the eye.

At Mission u 2021, we examined anxiety, the culture of violence that impacts children in and out of schools, and how we as God’s people can deepen our moral witness and respond faithfully.

Our 2021 Mission u offered the following studies:

• Bearing Witness in the Kin-dom: Living Into the Church’s Moral Witness Through Radical Discipleship (included with registration for Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools and/or Finding Peace in an Anxious World)
• Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools
• Finding Peace in an Anxious World
• Managing Anxiety: A Youth Study
• Responding to Violence: A Curriculum for Children
