Crest to Coast Currents

A New Name - Message from National Level

United Methodist Women is now United Women in Faith! The move is part of a refreshing of the organization that includes a new logo and an array of new and improved programs to nurture current members and welcome new women to join to put their love in action on behalf of women, children, and youth.

“This is an exciting time for our organization!” said Harriett Jane Olson, CEO of United Women in Faith. “Looking back, we see through the lines for our organization—faith in God, love for each other and commitment to putting our faith into action supporting women, children, and youth. These commitments have been expressed in different ways at different times using different names, always calling women to world changing action. This combination of a new look, more accessible resources for members and new ways to participate, positions us for impact in our own journeys and in how we engage the world that God so loves.”

‘Ainise ‘Isama’u, United Women in Faith board president, said the changes express the organization’s core values in ways that will excite current members and invite new women to join us.

“I’m confident our members will be excited about these changes,” she said. “Together we are creating more opportunities for engagement with more women through new programs and updates of long-standing programs that embody our core values. Things change. People change. But God remains, and that continues to be the purpose behind everything that we do in this organization.”

Love Ribbons! Bring Joy!

To all District and Units of the Pacific Northwest Conference: I, Fran Houser, will be taking over the duties of making the Love Ribbons cards for the Conference. Susan Chamberlain is leaving our Conference and moving back to California, to be closer to her kids and family. We will miss Susan a lot and I wish her the best in all she is going to be doing on
her new journey.
We are the only Conference to do Love Ribbons cards and have been doing them since 2013. 
Remember that the cards cost $1.00 each and are a part of Mission Today and included in The Pledge To Mission. Units go to the District Treasurers for supplies and purchases and credit goes to your unit.

ENCOURAGE THE PURCHASE
There is a wide variety, for all occasions.
I’m here to help in any way I can!!
With God Anything Is Possible!
