Transformative education from UMW
The United Methodist Women of the
North Texas Conference provide educational
experiences that lead to personal change
in order to transform the world. Each year
they offer Mission u (formerly School of
Christian Mission) mission studies through
a geographical, topical and spiritual growth
study. These studies motivate, inform and
enrich our commitment to global ministry
and prepare us for faithful living and action.
Men, women and youth are invited to
participate in this educational experience,
expanding our knowledge of mission
in today’s world. Classes will be offered
Thursday-Saturday (July 17-19) at Austin
College in Sherman, Texas. This is an
opportunity for the entire family to attend.
Join the excitement as we learn, live and walk
together for the transformation of the word.
