Women’s Missionary Union

WMU Emphasis - 2011/2012

Watchword:  Hebrews 12:1-2  NIV
    “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.  Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”.”
Focus: WMU will challenge individuals to live out the unconditional love of Christ by loving God with heart, soul, and mind..

We have five strategic purposes:
    1.  Pray for and give to missions
    2.  Do missions
    3.  Learn about missions
    4.  Develop spiritually toward a missions lifestyle
    5.  Participate in the work of the church and denomination.
 
   We seek to accomplish these purposes by leading the entire church in missions involvement as well as different ministries.  It is our hope and prayer that many will join in one or more ministries to help meet the needs of other people.
