2016 United Methodist Women Prayer Calendar

2026 Daily Prayer Guide

Order one, and use it daily!

The 2026 prayer guide focuses on how we, as God’s people, are forging a new path as wayfinders in these “unprecedented times.” Uncertainty continually increases, and the metaphor of being in the wilderness feels all too clear; therefore, we must find our way forward as people of faith, oriented towards Christ, and rooted in our communities to chart a path for a better world.

We hope that the material in the Daily Prayer Guide will give inspiration and provide assurance that new ways are possible, new boundaries can be drawn, and our orientation to Christ as a community is a steady guide.

The 2026 Daily Prayer Guide is filled with features to lead you through the year, including weekly pages with photo stories, reflections, holidays, advocacy days, and lectionary readings; a directory of staff and current and retired mission personnel; a list memorializing mission personnel recently deceased; lists and maps of National Mission Institutions and places of service; and an at-a-glance calendar for 2026 and 2027.

Mapping Our Way Forward
United Women in Faith Program Resource 2026

Get one and use it in your local unit!

This year’s Program Resource is about finding our way, mapping our plans, and holding on to that balance of grounding and flowing as we do it. Every month, there is a thematic reading about a Bible story, a group activity and discussion questions to share, and a closing prayer. Most months will have a specific tie-in to a United Women in Faith program or theme.

Call to Prayer & Self Denial 2017

2026 Call to Prayer & Self Denial

The Future is Now: Invest in Our Children.

The 2026 Call to Prayer and Self-Denial offering will support vulnerable children through the work of National Mission Institutions. NMIs help children through low-cost early childhood education, after-school programs, enrichment programs, mental health support, guidance for the transition to adulthood, reunifi cation with family, and more.
One hundred percent of the offering goes to the focus projects for that year.

This yearly event is a faith-filled time when we assemble with lifted hearts and hands to celebrate selfless giving for a common cause and spiritual communion with God. We invite you to gather, pray, reflect, and put your faith into action.

We believe love in action can change the world.

We are women with a PURPOSE! The organized unit of United Women in Faith shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.
