___________________________________________________

We the Executive Committee of Memphis Conference United Methodist Women reaffirm the reasons for which we came into existence over 100 years ago: to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through mission outreach of the church, especially to women and children throughout the world.

This is emphasized in our purpose which states: The organized unit of the United Methodist Women shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.

We are therefore committed as United Methodists and United Methodist Women to continue our giving through the proper channels of our organization.

Acting upon our purpose, United Methodist Women do not deviate from the Discipline or the Social Principles of The United Methodist Church.
