Have you noticed that there is always something going on with the United Women in Faith? Summer is time for Mission u when we gather together from across the conference to learn and be with friends. This year's study is great and the study leaders are too! There is one more opportunity to participate in Mission u - don't miss it! It was pretty special to experience the national United Women in Faith Installation service right here in Dallas! Even just relaxing with a good book can be a UWF activity because of the Reading Program!

Now it's time for local leaders to share about their group's activities, missions and giving. We're here to help if you need it because we want to celebrate all you are doing!

Wendy Campbell, 2023 NTC United Women in Faith President
