Calling all United Methodist Women to... Prayer and Self Denial! Has your unit made plans to celebrate Call to Prayer and Self Denial this year? This special observance is usually held the first few months of each new year. The theme for 2010 is “Property Makes Mission Possible". The 2010 Call to Prayer and Self-Denial offering fund will provide for capital expenditures at mission institutions related to the Women’s Division of the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries, United Methodist Women’s national policy-making arm. In the United States, these institutions include community centers, women’s residences, schools, colleges and residential treatment centers. Internationally, these institutions include hostels, residences, hospitals, clinics, schools, and community and day-care centers. The offering will be divided between U.S. and international projects. Funds from this observance will be used to expand facilities for new and emerging programs, as well as for repairs and renovations to maintain and enhance established ministries with women, children and youth. The Quiet Day service for Call to Prayer & Self Denial and a Prayer Card that you could use in your local unit are available for download here on our website. Click here for more information.
