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 first (1st) item plus eight (8) others including four (4) items marked with an asterisk (*). Activities conducted between September 1 2009 - August 31, 2010 will be recognized at Annual Meeting in 2010. This will be an ongoing program, so strive to become a Mission Today Unit!
