Just because we can't meet in person, our Alabama West Florida United Methodist Women have created an online virtual session for our 2020 Spiritual Enrichment Retreat that you can do at your convenience starting October 17 through October 31, 2020.
Bishop David Graves will have an important and meaningful message for us, you will hear from various Conference UMW officers, and you can even make a donation to our offering that will go towards our 2020 UMW Pledge to Missions. This virtual presentation is free, and it is optional to make a donation to the offering.
We sincerely hope you like what we have prepared for you and may God bless each of you. Hopefully, in 2021 we can meet again in person.
Registration insures you are counted by your district for the Conference Annual Awards for participation.
Once the registration process is completed, you will be sent an email that will give you a link for the recorded event. It has several videos and can be viewed in any order but preferably you start with the Intro and Overview.
Be sure to take our survey afterwards so we can improve on our virtual events.

AWF UMW 2020 Pledge to Mission
FUNDING OUR MISSION - OUR PLEDGE....United Methodist Women members prayerfully make pledges to their local organization. Their Mission Giving contributes to local mission, spiritual formation, programs for membership development and outreach in the community. The pledge journeys from the LOCAL to the DISTRICT and then to the CONFERENCE United Methodist Women. The pledged amount designated for mission is sent to the national body and budgeted for ministries with women, children and youth in the United States and all around the world. Women are involved in mission at each step of the way.
United Methodist Women mission giving is in compliance with The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church 2016, Paragraph 256, Section 5, Article 6.
Click HERE and read pages 72-97 THE HANDBOOK 2017-2020 - Funding the Mission
Your mission dollars are needed now. Women, children and youth are counting on us.
