Assembly 2010: Faith · Hope · Love in Action
April 30-May 2
With pre-conference events April 29
St. Louis, MO
America’s Center
United Methodist Women assemble every four years to celebrate, to lift
up, to learn, and to return to their communities better equipped for mission.
Tens of thousands of women have been meeting in this fashion since 1942
in a unified effort to stay at the forefront of the work being done both
locally and globally, both systemically and in charity, to improve and
sustain the lives of women, children and youth.
Assembly 2010 has been themed: “Faith. Hope. Love in Action.”
Chosen because it encapsulates the 140 year history of United Methodist
Women, it says everything about what is happening on the ground today,
and is the momentum for decades to come. Faith. Hope. Love in Action is
the energy that moves through each woman that has pledged her time for
service through United Methodist Women.
