The Reading Program Is for Everyone
Dear United Women in Faith Members and Friends,
We are delighted to announce the release of the 2026 Reading Program! It is available on the Reading Program webpage.
https://uwfaithresources.org/prodDetail.cfm?productID=13204
The Reading Program is a beloved tradition with a powerful future. Through the Reading Program, members and friends of United Women in Faith read and grow together, engaging contemporary books on spiritual growth, social action, leadership development, nurturing for community, and education for mission. We are for readers (and listeners) of all ages, with titles available for adults, youth, and children. We have programs available in English, Korean, and Spanish.
You can get the books wherever you’d like. You can borrow your books from the local library or purchase them from the bookseller of your choice. If you’re looking for a centralized spot to buy Reading Program books while earning cash back for the organization, you can do so at bookshop.org/shop/uwfaith.
Finally, if you would like to stay in touch with the Reading Program throughout the year, including receiving invitations to author talks, book discussions, and volunteer opportunities, please join our email list here.
Blessings,
Emily Jones
