There has never been a better time to be involved in an organization that cares about, and works for, social justice from the United Methodist perspective. If you long for kindred spirits who want to learn more about social justice issues, and then go about tackling them, Iowa MFSA is for you! As part of our 2024 restructuring, we are expanding our Board of Directors to include representatives from each of the districts of the Iowa Annual Conference. We meet no more than six times each year, and almost always on ZOOM. We want to include the perspectives of Iowa UM’s from across the state. For more information please contact Jean Swenson. To renew or learn about membership, contact our treasurer, Ryan Russell. (contact info in memo) |
