Our monthly forum features a particular topic vital to the mission of Church Women United, with a particular focus on issues and concerns affecting the lives of women, children, families, people at the margins, and the larger bioregion of Lane County.
Speakers are experienced in their field, and open our minds, hearts, and imaginations to work for the good of those most in need of advocacy, support, justice, and encouragement in Lane County.
Our monthly forums are open to all who wish to explore the ecumenical dimensions of Christian faith in action, and who desire to share in our work of advancing the mission of Church Women United. You may join through your local church or participate as individuals. Affiliation with a church is NOT required!
