From Your UWF Conference Team
Greetings,
It is the fall season, and this marks the beginning of a new start with CTC UWF. New starts also means that something has come to an end. Soon, as we all know, we will be the Horizon TX Conference. It’s the merging of three conferences, North, Northwest and Central Texas.
We will gather in Abilene on November 9th to celebrate our new conference at our inaugural event. Registration and information can be found here: https://www.uwfaithhtc.org/ We hope to see members from all CTC UWFaith districts at this event.
As you begin to move into this new season, my prayer is that our units/districts continue to grow. UWF is open to all women of faith; it takes all women to do the work that we’ve been called to do. There are so many things that one can do as a United Women in Faith member. The social action priorities alone will keep us busy for the next year and beyond.
If you are not sure what your passion is, how about starting with the reading club. The reading program is available for adults, youth and children. We have five genres: Education for Mission, Leadership Development, Nurturing for Community, Social Action and Spiritual Growth. Joining this group is a great way for you to connect with other members each month. Contact Caye Felton. Caye.felton@gmail.com for more information.
October 26, 2024, is the date for our last Central Texas Conference United Women in Faith annual gathering. We will be “Moving to the Future”. In the words of Ashleigh Brilliant, “Nothing we do can change the past, but everything we do changes the future”. And, may I add, everything we do together changes the future. This meeting will be held at Hurst UMC, Hurst, TX.
Big things are in store for United Women in Faith. We are women who change the world. We are women who believe, “That our strength lies in our racial and cultural diversity and that we must work toward a world in which each person’s value is respected and nurtured”, (taken from the Charter for Racial Justice).
I encourage everyone to take time and revisit why you decided to say “Yes” to becoming a United Women in Faith member. Revisit the website, www.uwfaith.org look around, be inspired and encouraged so you can continue to be a part of change that impacts the world. I can’t wait to see you all at the annual meeting!
