Horizon TX Annual Conference in Wichita Falls
Volunteers needed June 1st, 2nd, and 3rd


We need a few more friendly members to take a shift and share about United Women in Faith with clergy and lay people. Your smile will help UWFaith grow!! A couple of you will share a shift, and we'll have plenty of information for you to share. There will be handouts for Soul Care and Legislative Events, some advocacy postcards, flyers and poster for Mission u, mission projects, and more. Volunteers can be AC guests or members. We especially need women from the legacy Central TX Conference.


UWFaith member Barbara Weaver is organizing the HTC UWFaith Table. Please click to volunteer for a shift or call Barbara at 214-415-4446. (Leave a message and she will return your call.)

We had a great time!


The theme was "Dream it! Believe it! Do it!" The keynote speakers, Stacey Abrams and her mother, Rev. Carolyn Abrams, retired UMC clergy, were fabulous! They encouraged us to use our faith to embrace peopleship over partisanship, because human need is not political. Rev. Stephanie York Arnold was our Theologian in Residence and delivered messages centered around the theme of abundance and living an abundant life for all. Katie Pryor and Barbara Hill were consecrated as new Deaconesses. There were also dancers, ecumenical women leaders and the music was great with a live band. It was fun to make new friends, see faraway friends and learn new things. There were interactive Town Halls and cutting-edge workshops. Really - we wish YOU were there too! Have a look at our new photo album. Invite one of us that went to tell your circle or small group all about it! 
P.S. if you have more pictures to share, send them to photos@uwfaithhtc.org
