During May, national WMU celebrates 120 years of missions education!
Join in the celebration!
 May is
Associational Emphasis Month
May is Associational Emphasis Month in many parts of the United States. Whether your association focuses on it now or at a different time of year, it would still be appropriate to send a note of encouragment to your associational staff, to say a prayer on their behalf, or to recognize their service in some other way. To everyone who serves in their local assocation, national WMU salutes you!
Don't Forget:
Mother's Day
is Sunday, May 11
Royal Ambassadors 100th Anniversary
(1908-2008)
On Friday afternoon, May 15, 1908, Woman’s Missionary Union voted to form an “organization of Missionary Societies for Boys” to be called “The Order of Royal Ambassadors.” Visit the WMU Library/Archives Web pages for more information about the history of Royal Ambassadors and to view photos of RAs.
 The Christmas in August Promotion Kit 2008 is now available! The Promotion Kit is designed to help you lead your church or age-level group to be a part of the life-changing Christmas-in-August emphasis this year. If you are a WMU director or missions leader, you will find ideas to lead the entire church in the Christmas-in-August project. The activities in the kit can be used in conjunction with the August issues of GA Leader or Children in Action Leader, in which lessons provide additional recipes for snacks, games, and a more in-depth study. Start for preschoolers also includes activities for preschoolers during the month of August. The kit features posters, flyers, a children's booklet, and presentation ideas to help spread the word about Christmas in August. A prayer calendar is included to guide the church body and individual families in prayer throughout August for the North American missionaries chosen for this year's emphasis, as well as a list of the missionaries and their needs so you'll know what to collect for them. The kit's decoration ideas and recipes will help get people excited about Christmas in August!
