On that date the United Methodist Women of Nebraska, Kansas East and Kansas West officially united to become the Great Plains Conference United Methodist Women. We have approximately 27,000 members.

Part of the new look of our website will be the opportunity for you to read about upcoming meetings, classes and opportunities to donate. All of these opportunities will be listed together and found at the link above on the home page, entitled
"Click here to Register for Events and/or Donate."
When you click there, you'll see numerous tiles with pictures, titles and a brief description. Click on the "register" or "donate" button associated with that tile and you'll be given detailed information about the event or donation. For registrations there may be a few questions for you to answer prior to actually paying. Then you'll be led through the payment process where you'll need to supply credit or debit card information. This system is called Vanco and will replace our involvement with PayPal. Please use Discover, Visa,or Mastercard debit or credit cards. American Express cards charge a higher service fee,so please avoid their use. Vanco offers more flexibility, lower service fees and real people to talk to when your Great Plains Conference administrator has questions. Looking forward to this system being an advantage for everyone. Please contact Barbara Smith, Great Plains UWF Treasurer, with questions.

Due to Coronavirus, many dates are changing and events are cancelled, but we can still pray for one another and do the mission work of United Methodist Women that we have done for over 150 years...just will be doing it differently for awhile. We remain TOGETHER as the Great Plains UMW in FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE in Action!
