United Methodists from across Africa gathered for training on communications and regionalization. Many have been contending with disinformation about the proposal and the church in general.
The joint board meeting of United Methodist Global Ministries and Higher Education and Ministry was jam-packed with changes coming as the two agencies look to combine efforts and become more efficient.
The Immanuel United Methodist Church parking lot transformed into a hive of energy and purpose as volunteers came together with one mission: to give children the comfort and security of their own beds. The church partnered with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children who need them. The goal was 40, but church and community volunteers surpassed that, building 62 beds. The Upper New York Conference produced a video from the event.
These efforts require financial support. If you believe in our mission, consider a tax-deductible donation to support the essential work of UM News and other ministries of United Methodist Communications.
Two annual conferences have adopted policies to enable churches that disaffiliated from The UMC to reaffiliate. Others are in the process of developing them.
