Make a Gift: Impact Generations To Come!


On March 23rd in 1869, a group of eight intrepid women founded the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society by giving their prayers and two pennies.


Today that group is known as the United Women in Faith. A movement of faith and generosity in action was born and we continue to support women, children, and youth today. Your gift of any size makes an impact for generations to come.

2025 HORIZON TX MISSION PROJECT

'25 Mission Project Jerri Savuto Center for girls

ANNOUNCING OUR 2025 PROJECT:

The Jerri Savuto Center


This mission project was chosen because together we can make a big impact and change lives!


The Jerri Savuto Center was the dream of a woman in Kenya. Our partnership blossomed during COVID after a [Horizon] Texas District UWFaith event. Now girls are thriving students instead of child brides. Learn how individuals, circles, local groups, and districts can participate in this project here.

MINI SOUL CARE RETREAT NEXT WEEK

My Soul Care is Sacred

5th Thursday Mini Soul Care Retreat

What is a Healthy Soul?

Thursday, March 27th - 10 am or 6 pm


Just as with our mind and body, we must take care of and nurture our soul to achieve a sense of inner peace and wholeness. At this retreat we will focus on the importance of soul care and how to practice it.


Both morning and evening sessions include an optional Prayer & Meditation time for 30 minutes after the Mini-Retreat. Register now for the first Soul Care Mini-Retreat! Bonus: fellowship with like-minded women across our big conference!
