Mission u South held at DWU

United Methodist Women of the Dakotas Conference held the first of two annual Mission u events at Dakota Wesleyan University July 14-16, 2017.

The theme for this year was: “Learning Together for the Transformation of the World”.

Rev. Matt Richards presented:
Living as a Covenant Community–Covenants are found in the Bible from the moment God created man and woman until the last page of Revelation. As we grow to understand the divine covenants made by God with our ancestors, and thus with us, our faith and our lives will transform. Through this study, we came to marvel at our covenant God, grow in our love for God, for each other, and for our neighbors near and far.

Dawn Armstrong presented:
Missionary Conferences of UMC in USA–The Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference, Red Bird Missionary Conference, and the Alaska United Methodist Conference are a hybrid of home and internal missionary work. The aim of this study was to give an overview of these three missionary conferences in The UMC, the contexts out of which they grew, and their current engagements.

Rev. Marty Toepke-Floyd presented:
Climate Justice: Call to Hope and Action –A study that deepened our understanding and awareness of climate change and its impact on God’s creation. It offered participants biblical, theological and ethical insights as the basis of their advocacy on climate justice in churches and in the public sphere.

Mission u North is coming right up, in Jamestown, ND at Jamestown College, July 20-23, 2017.
