 Introduction to School of Christian Mission

Centennial and Lake Harriet United Methodist Women/ Twin Cities District are planning an Introduction to School of Christian Mission, sometimes known as a Mini School, on Saturday, October 30, 2010 at Centennial UMC. The day is intended to introduce this year’s 3 United Methodist Women studies.

Persons who would enjoy this event are those who were unable to attend this summer’s Conference School of Christian Mission, those who plan to teach one of the studies or folks who just like to be well informed. Men, youth, as well as all women, not just UMW, are encouraged to join us.

The day begins at 9:00 AM with welcoming coffee. There will be one hour sessions for each study; 2 in the morning and 1 after a delicious lunch. We plan to finish by 2:30 PM.

The geographic study this year is the second year of “The Beauty and Courage of Sudan”. The Mission Study is “Joy to the World: Mission in the Age of Global Christianity”. “For the Love of God: The Epistles of John” is the Spiritual Growth study. Study leadership is currently being sought. That information will be posted on the TC District UMW web site ( www.myumw.com) as soon as it is available.

The registration fee of $20 includes lunch. Scholarship funds are available.

Calling United Methodist Women

Ubuntu Journey to Brazil

 

Applications are now being accepted for the Ubuntu, Brazil Journey, scheduled for November 9-21, 2010 and there are 8 openings for United Methodist Women across the church. The trip is led by Jeanie Blankenbaker, former Assistant General Secretary of Mission Volunteers. The Ubuntu Journeys are supported by the Women’s Division of The United Methodist Church and Global Ministries.

 

The objective of the journey is to build missional bridges between US and Brazilian Methodist women:

 

* strengthening women’s organizational capacity to be in mission with women, children and youth

* creating an educational space for shared learning and leadership,

* exchanging of skills that enhance women’s capability to provide for their families,

* witnessing the love of God for children and youth grow into a life free of violence

* learning the strength of people in the midst of economic and social disparities

 

Ubuntu Explorers will visit two State capitals and small cities and outskirts neighborhoods where the Methodist or ecumenical organizations have a mission presence. The journey will start at the Northeast Coast - Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará and end in the Southeast city of Guarapari, in the state of Espírito Santo.

 

The participants will have the opportunity to meet with Methodist women leaders at all levels – local, district and national. In Fortaleza, they will share leadership at a District women’s training, while in Guarapari they will share their UMW experience at the National Assembly of the Brazilian Methodist Women Confederation. Explorers will visit:

 

* Local units, community and ecumenical organizations dealing with women’s needs and rights.

* Play and have fun with children at the Shade and Fresh Water program – an after-school community program with children and youth at risk.

* Worship at Methodist churches on Sunday.

* Contribute to strengthen the mission capacity of Methodist women organization, which carries a legacy of the nineteen century missionary movement.

 

In all locations, the team will interact with local Methodist women and visit projects supported by the Women’s Division and GBGM.

 

Cost is $3,500 exclusive of USA domestic airfare. For team member application forms and additional information go to http://new.gbgm-umc.org/umw/work/mission-service-opportunities/ubuntu-explorers/ or, you may contact Jeanie Blankenbaker at jbumvimny@aol.com or 843-342-7092.
