News, Stories, & Causes
UWF Reading Program
The organization of the United Women in Faith advocates for and encourages life-long learning. One way to accomplish this is to read books included in their reading program. When you explore the UWF Reading Program shelves in our library, you will find books within the categories of leadership development, spiritual growth, social action, education for mission and nurturing community. Genres include biographies, autobiographies and historical fiction. All members of the congregation are invited to check out books from the UWF Reading Program shelves. Books for children and youth are also available through the reading program on missionresources.org.
“It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people.”
