Church Women United in North Carolina

Speaking at CWU’s 70th Anniversary Celebration in Atlantic City, NJ, in December, the Rev. Ann Tiemeyer said, “CWU has a strong legacy to share and is a light to guide us all in the ecumenical movement into new futures.” Rev. Tiemeyer, the National Council of Churches’ Program Director for Women’s Ministries, sits on the CWU Board. North Carolina was well represented among the more than 400 women from across the United States and from many denominations who gathered in Atlantic City.

The Common Council, CWU’s highest legislative body, gathered right before the Anniversary Celebration and passed resolutions that support National Farm Workers Ministries, military families, and a call for a just, peaceful and caring society. This last resolution called upon CWU to pray today for a just, peaceful and caring society, just as the women did in 1941.

Do you know how many food insecure children there are in your community? Food insecurity—the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe food—exists in 17.2 million households in America, 3.9 million of them with children.

Childhood hunger is a problem facing many in North Carolina. Recent reports indicate that more than 1 in 4 children in our state do not get sufficient food. Because WE BELIEVE THAT NO CHILD SHOULD GO TO BED HUNGRY, CWU in NC’s Executive Committee has made this a priority issue for 2012; and we are asking you to adopt this issue and do what you can in your community to help fight childhood hunger. One of the ways to do this is to contact your local food bank and ask how you can become involved. My local food bank has a backpack program that sends food home every Friday to help feed children during the weekend.

PLEASE JOIN IN THIS FIGHT TO END CHILDHOOD HUNGER.

Mark your calendars for these two important events:

2012 Leaders’ Council, August 17-18, at Caraway Conference Center in Asheboro
Southeast Regional Assembly, October 12-14, in Columbia, SC.

Let your light shine for Church Women United.

NC CWU President
