WMU Emphasis for 2022–2024: What Joy!

This year’s WMU emphasis is anchored in 1 Thessalonians 2:8 (NIV):“Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.”

The WMU’s ongoing objectives are:

• A passion for the lost

• Generosity in sharing

• Love as our motivation

• Joy in service

All men and women in your church are invited to participate in this special evening of mission-minded fellowship. Come ready to be encouraged, inspired, and connected!
