The Council of Bishops of the UMC will have a Leadership Gathering in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in October to reimagine the church of the future to fulfill God’s calling and to renew the UMC rooted in justice, love, and hope.
The Current, the news magazine of IGRC, will be available only on-line (or by paid subscription) beginning in September. It may be found at IGRC.org .
The UMC has stepped up to help in the Texas flooding disaster, from opening their buildings for shelter and meals to offering prayer and comfort to grieving neighbors. The most effective way to help is to donate to UMCOR #901670-Texas flood relief.
