In this blog, we'll look at the opportunities we have to grow in God and his Word. Together we'll have the chance to read the Bible in the next year. We'll also be able to read articles and hear studies designed to enhance our understanding of the faith we share.

Announcing the Women of African Methodism Anthology!
Proceeds will be directed to the stewardship of the AME Publications Commission. This project is spearheaded by TCR columnist Dora Muhammad (Rights & Rituals). To learn more about her work, visit www.gracefull.co.
The Women of African Methodism anthology series is an intergenerational documentary to harness the power of the voices of women upholding the legacy of our traditions and ushering a refreshing of our faith. The project will be a special literary offering to edify its readers, affirm the lives of young women, honor the wisdom of our elders, and inspire the future of our girls.
Women and girls of all ages who are the life and leadership of African Methodism in their presence and service should be encouraged to contribute. Share a story, testimony, reflection, or life lessons in prose, poetry or prayer in one of the three topics – the work of liberation (justice, equity, truth-telling), sacred relationships (family, sisterhood, humanity) or spiritual transformation (hope, grace, peace, joy).
Collection for each district will span five to six months. Each district has a dedicated online portal for submissions that will open and close on a schedule. A new schedule was set on December 1 for collections to run throughout 2026. A resource document contains this schedule, along with links to each submission portal, a list of Girl Scouts badges that involve writing, sample announcements and graphics, registration for monthly write-in sessions, the TCR article on the project’s inspiration, and a sample submission form.
5 Ways to Support the Series
