Reading Program

reading2009The Reading Program of United Methodist Women is a wonderful way for women to become connected with other women, children and youth as they read about social issues in the Social Action category,  learn about our distant neighbors and missionaries in Education for Mission, understand and interact with our neighbors in Nurturing for Community, and nurture ourselves and others in Spiritual Growth.
