This year, we were invited to step back in time and rediscover something we sometimes lose along the way: the curiosity, imagination, and sense of wonder we had as children. 

As children, we weren't nearly as concerned with staying inside the lines. We asked questions. We tried new things. We imagined possibilities that adults sometimes dismiss before we even give them a chance, and we hoped that we could bring some of that spirit into our time together. We believe that we succeeded and we were able to think about what happens when we think outside the box, what barriers have we created as adults that we might be willing to remove, and how can United Women in Faith become a stronger, more welcoming and more open community if we are willing to change some of the ways we've always done things.

During our time together, we conducted the important business of United Women in Faith, but Annual Celebration is about much more than business. It is also a time for joy, laughter, learning, fellowship, and reconnecting with one another.
