Mission to Ministers recordings available
Feb. 3, 2010 - Recordings of this year’s Mission to Ministers are available for downloading from the conference Web site beginning. They include the lecture of Dr. Teresa Fry Brown, associate professor of Homeletics at the Candler School of Theology, who opened the mission with worship.
In her afternoon lecture, “ What Do You Do When Your Brook Dries Up,” Brown gave practical advice on sermon preparation and delivery. She reminded preachers to put agenda aside and allow God to speak. “Sometimes you are so full of stuff, God can’t speak through you.” She emphasized getting to know the people as multi-cultural because in a church where everyone may be the same race, multiple cultures exist.

Major evangelistic outreach
event to impact lives across western North Carolina on June 5
Jan. 27, 2010 - Imagine thousands of United Methodists across the Western NC Conference moving out beyond the walls of their churches into their communities, offering signs of love and hope through
service on one single day. This is a dream that will become a reality on Saturday, June 5, as each district in the conference sponsors Impact Community events.
These events offer not only United Methodists, but others who will be invited, to make a difference in their communities by volunteering for local outreach organizations or participating in other outreach projects sponsored by their districts.
The purpose of Impact Community is to put into action the philosophy of the Rethink Church media campaign, which inspires United Methodists to look at church as being a verb. Geared to 18-34 year olds, both Impact Community and Rethink Church serve as catalysts that move the denomination, and those we hope to reach, into dialogue -- and ultimately, into transformative, collaborative action.

In the wake of the killing, civil unrest erupted leading to events that would impact the entire nation.
Tyson, son of the United Methodist pastor who served in Oxford during the turmoil, reveals the ugly face of racism and white supremecy in a situation that tested the true faith of many. [More]
