The purpose of promoting a Mission Today Unit is to:
|
|
Energize United Methodist Women to be more involved in mission through prayer, study and action. |
|
|
Increase contacts between units and mission personnel and mission projects so the United Methodist Women understand where their money goes. |
|
|
Encourage the use of mission resources through United Methodist Women. |
|
|
Expand concepts of mission, including social justice as mission. |
What is a Unit?
A unit is any organized group of United Methodist Women within a church or district. Some units are composed of several circles, which periodically get together for a unit meeting.
How Do We Become a Mission Today Unit?
In order to be recognized as a Mission Today Unit, UMW groups must complete a minimum of eight of the following criteria, including four of those marked with an asterisk (*). Activities conducted between September 1 2007 - September 1, 2008 will be recognized at annual meetings in 2008. This will be an ongoing program, so strive to become a Mission Today Unit!
