The purpose
of promoting a Mission Today Unit is to:
-
Energize United Methodist Women to be
more involved in mission through prayer,
study and action
-
Increase contacts between units and
mission personnel and mission projects
so the United Methodist Women understand
where their money goes
-
Encourage the use of mission resources
through United Methodist Women
- Expand
concepts of mission, including social
justice as mission
What's a Unit?
A unit is
any organized group of United Methodist
Women within a church or district. Some
units are composed of several circles, which
periodically get together for a unit
meeting.
How Do We Become a Mission Today Unit?
In order to
be recognized as a Mission Today Unit, United
Methodist Women
groups must complete a
Mission Today Form
for items completed between December 1 and
November 30.
Gold Certificates
will be awarded to units completing 75% of
goals (6 starred plus 6 others, total of
12); Silver Certificates will be
awarded for 50% of goals (4 starred plus 4
others, total of 8). The report is due to
the District Education and Interpretation
Coordinator by December 1 each year.
