PA/SJ WMU Annual Meeting

About this Event:

The Pennsylvania/South Jersey WMU Annual Meeting is a one-day event that gathers Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) leaders and representatives from across our two-state region as well as those passionate about missions to hear about what God is doing through missions locally and globally. The day will feature keynote speakers and mission-centered breakout sessions designed to encourage and educate on the importance of spreading the Gospel in our local context and to the ends of the earth. The PA/SJ WMU is a chapter of the Woman’s Missionary Union, an entity of the Southern Baptist Convention.

For over 136 years, Woman’s Missionary Union has helped Southern Baptists fulfill the Great Commission. WMU understands the challenges church leaders face — limited time, resources, and volunteers — when trying to mobilize their congregation for missions. But they also believe every church member is mandated by God to obey the Great Commission.

At this year’s WMU Annual Meeting, guests will hear from keynote speaker Connie Dixon, the 24th president of national WMU. The meeting will also include an International Mission study focusing on Brazil, highlighting the work of the International Mission Board (IMB.) In addition, participants will take part in a mission project benefiting Alta B., who was with us last March and currently serves in the Czech Republic.

We invite you to come, learn, and bring others from your church who have a heart for missions. We are also excited to once again offer a special track for middle and high school girls, designed as a full day of mission education to help them grow and develop a missions mindset. Connie Dixon will spend time with the girls as well. Emily Fyfe will return to lead this mission track. Emily is a former missionary kid (MK) from Ukraine.

Who’s Invited:

PA/SJ WMU leaders and members, young women interested in missions (6th-12th grade), anyone interested in learning more about WMU or missions.
