Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) will meet Sunday, June 13, at First Baptist Church in Nashville, Tenn., for their annual meeting and missions celebration. The theme for the afternoon gathering brings to mind the challenges of the Christian life, and Christ’s call to persevere.
“There are some moments in life when you just want to give up,” said National WMU President Linda Cooper. “People may have had some of those moments during the COVID pandemic, but the Bible tells us not to lose heart. Hebrews 10:39, which is our focus verse, says, ‘But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.’”
The meeting will include missionary speakers and an interactive prayer experience, as well as election of WMU officers and appreciation for Cooper, who is completing six years as WMU president. Due to COVID-19 guidelines, space is extremely limited. Seating capacity has currently been reached, but participants may sign up for a waiting list at wmu.com/nashville.
“As we make disciples of Jesus who live on mission, we want to be relentless in living authentic faith in Christ, seeking God in prayer, giving sacrificially and witnessing to others,” said WMU Executive Director Sandy Wisdom-Martin. “Everything you experience at this event is designed to help you be relentless in your own personal journey.”
