UMW Assembly

I have been reading about the UMW Assembly that will be held in May. It reminds me of those that I attended a long time ago in Louisville and Philadelphia. How very special they were. They helped shape a young mother's understanding of how the church can really be a teacher and voice of social justice. I sensed that I was reclaiming the stories of women in my family who were suffragettes and social activists. Through these bus trip adventures, I met women who continue to be very important in my life. These events certainly are part of my call to ministry. It is my prayer that we could make it possible for a young woman in our midst to attend this event in May.
