The library is available for all to read.         Each year our studies for circle meetings are chosen from the program book published by the Women’s Division of the General Board of Global Ministries. Other resources are Response magazine, New World Outlook magazine, the Interpreter and the Prayer Calendar.         TUMW’s goal is to further missions here and abroad. We are committed to spreading the Good News as we each witness to our faith and share in the ministry of others through our pledges and our mission offerings.
