Reading Plan

For 140 years, United Methodist Women 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 United Methodist Women 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.
