This event is being organized and planned by young women for young women. The young women who are planning this event attended an event at Duke University called Limitless.
This event comprises worship, service, and advocacy to provide learning
opportunities, friendship, fun, and leadership development.
The UMW organization at FUMC is willing to help send young women to this event. These young women are learning the issues, finding their voices and changing the world. For more information, please contact our UMW.
