Inhumanity - Society's Greatest Sin - Social Justice Virtual Conference
2023-09-30 10:00 - 14:00

Human Rights Day!
2023-10-13
Church Women United remember that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms… without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status” (Excerpt taken from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, written by the UN in 1948).
These words should be in the forefront of our minds as we support, work towards, and fight for the rights of all humans. This is the same message that Jesus gave while on earth. When He said, “Love one another as I have loved you,” He did not mean for us to love just some people, He truly meant for us to love everyone. This has been the message of CWU since our beginnings in 1943 and will continue to be one of the pillars that supports and drives our movement.

World Community Day
2023-12-09 13:00 - 15:00
World Community Day began in 1943 from discussions at a meeting of denominational presidents and executive secretaries asking that a day be set aside in the fall for the study of peace by church women. Although many denominations were printing their own studies on the new world order, it was determined at this meeting that their unity would be strengthened on one day of united study.
World Community Day continues to emphasize peace but has been broadened to include justice, a vital partner of peace. The once clear categories of “domestic” and “foreign” were consciously blurred so the global scope of the wide range of problems could be emphasized on World Community Day.

Church Women United in Georgia - 26th Annual Woman of the Year Luncheon
2024-02-17 | Anderson Conference Center, 5171 Eisenhower Pkwy, Macon, GA, United States

May Friendship Day
2024-05-03 19:00
May Friendship Day dates back to May 1933, when two independent groups planned luncheons to focus on “Child Health” and “Children of Migrant Families.” The first event was sponsored by the Women’s Council for Home Missions in New York City and the second one, called “Dedication Day,” was sponsored by the National Council of Federated Church Women in order to bring the group’s dream of unity into full expression in each local community. Under a variety of names, this event continued and expanded until 1939, when they merged under the National Council of Church Women, which called for an annual observance “to strengthen a growing sense of unity, the joy of Christian fellowship, and the power of Christianity in the day of need.” In May 1945, a few years after the founding of Church Women United, the celebration was formalized as May Fellowship Day. In 1999, the movement of Church Women United changed the name of the celebration to May Friendship Day, as we continue to celebrate unity in our journey toward wholeness in all communities.
Rev. Dr. Merchuria Chase Williams will share a parable reflection and we will honor the Atlanta Unit’s Valiant Women, Young Church Women United and Key Women.

2024 Quadrennial Assembly
2024-06-19 - 2024-06-24 | Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Chicago
“All Things are New: New Beginnings, New Perspectives”
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
On behalf of the Board of Directors and our National President, Mira J. Washington we are excited you will join us at the 2024 Quadrennial Assembly, Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Chicago, Oak Brook, Illinois.
We pray you find this personal and professional investment important in your self-care, self-awareness, and collective empowerment of women, girls and family in all aspects of society.
The Quadrennial Assembly gathering of ecumenical denominations, partners, women of faith organizations, activists, advocates, and people of good faith from our global community converging virtually to respond to Christ’s call to be the church to the poor, marginalized, disempowered, and voiceless members at home and around the world.
Our assembly gathering more than ever, seeks to focus our members, partners, and allies on the most urgent and consequential social justices’ issues impacting the well-being of women and girls: health and well-being, climate stewardship, racial justice, and hunger and poverty. We will examine these social justice priorities from the voices of those on the margins, to scholars, theologians, social justice activists and women leaders seeking to influence change.
Thank you for your support!
With gratitude,
The 2024 Quadrennial Assembly Planning Team
