Please register at wjumw.com\, where you will find detailed information on the hotel\, Alaska Airlines discounts\, time schedules\, and workshop opportunities. Hotel Captain Cook offers the option of adding three additional days before or after our gathering if you’d like to extend your stay and take the opportunity to see more of Alaska. \nWe’re excited about this chance to “Get Together” at the Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage on May 9-11\, 2024. (pre-events start May 8\, 2024). Our theme\, “Get Together\,” is centered in John 13:34\, and all the jurisdictions share it. This theme feels especially relevant after having to cancel the 2020 in-person event and move to online only. After eight years\, our team is eager to gather in person\, as we’re sure you are! The central purpose of this event is to elect women who will represent our jurisdiction as National Board of Director members. In addition\, we will worship\, celebrate\, share\, serve\, learn\, sing\, pray and connect. \nThe past several years of planning have been unusually challenging due to the pandemic. Still\, our team is delighted with how well the many aspects of our event have come together to showcase our values and priorities while also highlighting the rich diversity and many cultures of Alaska. We’re honored to have Amy Valdez Barker\, PhD as our keynote speaker and Makeda McCreary as our music director. This will also be an opportunity to meet Sally Vonner\, our new General Secretary/CEO\, and our President\, ‘Ainise ‘Isama’u. It is our prayer that this event will be an opportunity for each of you to rest and be renewed as we celebrate our work as United Women of Faith together. Thank you for your continued support of all we do as United Women of Faith! We hope to see you in Anchorage!

SUMMARY:Understanding the Constitutional Amendments
DESCRIPTION:In May\, the Western Jurisdiction is providing a webinar to prepare members to learn about the four proposed amendments to our United Methodist Constitution. \nThis year’s Annual Conference gatherings require votes that impact our worldwide connection\, and we want you to be informed and involved. Your participation matters! \nAt the General Conference 2020/2024 meeting\, four pieces of legislation passed that would change the denomination’s constitution. In order for these changes to go into effect\, the legislation must be ratified by the collective votes of annual and central conferences of the UMC. Throughout 2025\, all central and annual conferences will be asked to vote on these important topics at their Annual Conference meetings. \nThe four pieces for ratification are: \n\nBallot #1: Regionalization: Changing the structure of the UMC to create equity across the worldwide church.\nBallot #2: Expand inclusiveness in church membership\, especially as it relates to gender and ability.\nBallot #3: Stand against racism and colonialism.\nBallot #4: Clarify local pastor status regarding who can vote for clergy delegates.\n\nUnderstanding these amendments is crucial as we move forward together\, as each will impact how we operate as a global church. The Western Jurisdiction has prepared information on each to help you cast your vote. Lay and clergy members of the annual conference are invited to learn more and prepare for this critical vote by joining us on May 19 at 6:30 pm PDT for an information webinar where you can learn more from your ratification conference teams\, and ask any questions you may have. \nREGISTER NOW AT THIS LINK
