New page on our website...Social Action!

Western North Carolina Conference United Methodist Women.....

A new page has been added to our web site....Social Action! Check it out...and share information with your local unit!

"John Wesley often preached about works of piety and mercy as inseparable. Charity is a gift, but social action helps change systems that keep people oppressed and dispossessed. As United Methodist Women, we believe that these are inseparable." Women's Division
