Letters to My Daughters

VIRTUAL STUDY Sept - Nov.

DINNER & DISCUSSION - Nov 7

Looking to integrate your prayers with your public witness? This virtual monthly study will examine the intersection of faith and advocacy as it relates to the social conditions of women and girls. We'll explore models of advocacy knowing that our sense of activism is often passed down from those who come before us. 2023 focus will be the current maternal mortality crisis and how we can advocate to improve the situation.

Register individually by August 4th for the 4 virtual Letters to my Daughter sessions, then join the United Women in Faith of FUMC Dallas and St. Paul UMC for a group viewing of the Nov. 7th session with dinner & discussion. More information will come as in-person details are finalized for Nov. 7th.

Study presented by Church & Society of the United Methodist Church.
