We had a great time at Soul Care Saturday! We missed those of you who weren't there & have pictures to share. What do you have to share? When you share your skills, efforts and dollars you are supporting mission -- and that is what this organization is all about!

Wendy Campbell, 2023 NTC United Women in Faith President

Soul Care Saturday was an activity-based and intergenerational day for connecting, spiritual nourishment and joy! Together we experienced a wisdom walk, painting, meditation, poetry, worship, and lots of sisterhood fun. Check out our photo album.

THE STORY OF PLASTIC

This Emmy-winning film is an expose revealing the impact of plastic pollution. After the movie, Elisa Ringholm, Chief of Staff for the Story of Stuff Project, will answer questions.

This event is open to the public. We've invited the Sierra Club and REI customers, so please invite your interested friends, too! Snacks will be available.

Please register so we will have enough chairs set up!

LOCATION: Walnut Hill Church, 10066 Marsh Ln, Dallas TX 75229

Our conference United Women in Faith needs to have a professional financial audit done annually. Of course, this expense reduces the funds we have to send to missions.

If you have the skills to do a financial audit would you consider doing it pro bono to help increase our pledge to mission?

Contact Lela Luxen, Treasurer, to discuss.

UWF TABLE @ NTC ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Would you like to share a smile and greet people at the United Women in Faith table at Annual Conference?

DALLAS RESPONDS

MIGRANT WELCOMING CENTER

at Oaklawn UMC in Dallas

We are called by God to do good and practice justice, kindness, and love. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, held that loving and caring for our neighbors is a spiritual practice that is just as important as worship and prayer.

Respond to the border crisis by serving at the Welcoming Center for legally approved asylum seekers at Oaklawn UMC. Volunteers will help serve meals, distribute resources, and other misc needs of the day. English and Spanish speakers are needed to be Travel Assistants coordinating timelines for guests at airports & bus stations, and Travel Escorts to help guests get to airports and bus stations. Volunteer here.

Learn more about the Dallas Migrant Center in this touching Dallas Morning News article.

Project Transformation needs reading volunteers at several North Texas church sites this summer. Your group could provide an evening meal for the North Texas Corps members at the PT house near the SMU campus. 

Sign-up to volunteer this summer.
