Reading Program Plans
There are four plans to choose from for participating in the Reading Program. You can choose one plan to follow and when you’ve completed the plan’s requirements, report it to your United Methodist Women local unit secretary for program resources.
The plans give credit for the book lists of the last 5 years.
