Women On Mission
Women on Mission (WOM) is one of many programs under the umbrella
of the Baptist Women’s Missionary Union (WMU). WOM is guided by four
strategic principles:
To pray for and give to missions;
To be involved in missions;
To develop spiritually toward a missions-oriented lifestyle; and
To participate in the work of the church and denomination.
Women on Mission is responsible for
communicating missions’ information to church members, sharing with
the church how gifts are used, and providing church members with
opportunities to participate in missions.
In order to meet these goals WOM sponsors monthly projects,
arranges for presentations on missions, and maintains the missions’
bulletin board.
Each year WOM works to collect funds for various purposes including
Lottie Moon (foreign missions), Annie Armstrong (North American
missions) and the Golden Offering for State Missions (Tennessee
missions). WOM also provides gift bags (including brownie or hot
cocoa mix) to Sunday morning visitors and each Fall collects
Christmas gift shoeboxes as part of Operation Christmas Child (for
Samaritan’s Purse to distribute worldwide).
Meetings are held on the second Monday of each month in the
fellowship center of the church from 11:30 to 12:30. The meetings
usually include lunch, a program on missions, and prayer for
missionaries. The meetings are a great opportunity for fun and
fellowship.
