Each year, United Methodist Women members prepare for faithful living and action by engaging in transformative educational experiences at Mission u events. These events are centered around Mission u curricula that are designed to motivate, inform, and enrich our commitment to global ministry. This year all Mission u events will be virtual.
They are all Friday evening/Saturday Zoom events. The Mission u team and our study leaders are all busy preparing for inspiring spiritual, educational, caring fellowship that is interactive. Blessings to you as we continue to follow God’s lead living into our Purpose.

Register HereJoin us in the summer of 2021 for three outstanding studies:
June 25-26, 2021 – Becoming Peacemakers in a Culture of Violence
Study Leader – Rachel Mosher
2021 Youth Study for all ages
This mission study is written for those interested in working alongside youth on issues of violence. Throughout this study, the goal is to take time to have deeper conversations about how we define violence, what the root causes of violence are, and ultimately, how God is calling us to respond. At the same time, the study seeks to guide young people to develop their capacity as peacemakers as an expression of their faith.

July 23-24, 2021 – Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools
Study Leader – Billie Fidlin with Khalil Rushdan
2021 Issue Mission Study
Despite increased attention to the mass and over-incarceration of black men, the plight of criminalized black women and girls is overlooked, underreported and under analyzed. Monique W. Morris’ Pushout shows how even with obstacles, stigmas, stereotypes and despair, black girls still find ways to breathe remarkable dignity into their lives in classrooms, juvenile facilities and beyond, and challenges the rest of us to do the same.
