WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

Women in the United Methodist Church have been concerned for the well-being and lives of women, and have been making a difference since 1869!  Eight women created an organization over their concern for women's health care in India and it has grown to 800,000 members worldwide.  Learn more!
