United Methodist Women Launches Assembly 2010

Conference Engages Thousands of Christian Women in Fellowship for Mission Under Theme of “Faith •Hope •Love in Action”

On April 30-May 2, in St. Louis, Mo., a broad and diverse gathering of women will convene Assembly 2010 – a three-day conference hosted by United Methodist Women celebrating and empowering women of faith in mission for women, children, and youth. Assembly 2010 will build a constituency capable of generating bold action across the globe.

Inspired by faith and activated by justice, Assembly 2010 is a movement of women from all walks of life. Women will come together as one body to worship, fellowship with each other, and also to address and act upon issues affecting women, children and youth. The Assembly theme of “Faith • Hope • Love in Action” solidifies this gathering into a movement for all women of faith.

This event represents one of the largest and most diverse groups of women of faith from the largest denominational faith organization for women, United Methodist Women.

A historic quadrennial event that attracts thousands, United Methodist Women’s Assembly has taken place since 1942, and has always been a gathering place to rejoice and mobilize women in mission for women, children and youth.

The theme of “Faith • Hope • Love in Action” includes a vision statement and scripture passage (Colossians 1:3-6) guiding the collective vision for Assembly 2010. The vision statement reads:

As United Methodist Women who are disciples of Jesus Christ we are called to share…
Faith: Our belief in the promise of a new heaven and a new earth.
Hope: Our expectation of needs met for all.
Love: Our sisterhood of grace and our embodiment of justice
In Action: We find fulfillment of Faith. Hope. Love in the name of Jesus Christ.
