A Prayer for the Cold and Homeless

God of compassion, your love for humanity was revealed in Jesus, whose earthly life began in the poverty of a stable, and ended in the pain and isolation of the cross. We hold before you those who are homeless and cold, especially in this bitter weather. Draw near and comfort them in spirit and bless those who work to provide them with shelter, food and friendship. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.    From www.churchofengland.org

EPA Conference Treasurer to retire. Successor sought

Peter T. DiNofia, Eastern PA Conference Treasurer and Director of Administrative Services, will retire effective Aug. 31, 2015, after seven years in that role. The Conference Council on Finance and Administration has launched a search for his successor and expects the new Conference Treasurer to be in place by Sept. 1. Information about the position is on our Classifieds Webpage at http://epaumc.org/news/classifieds

 

"During my tenure I have worked alongside many wonderful people both clergy and lay," wrote DiNofia, expressing "mixed emotions" about his decision. He has helped steer the conference's finances through significant challenges in recent years, but recently reported increased giving at the end of 2014 and continued success in the conference's capital campaign. "God has blessed me abundantly, and I will cherish the memories of my time at the conference," he wrote. "I pray that God will continue to bless all the faithful servants doing the work that is truly making a difference in so many lives in the church and beyond."

Bishop says anti-discrimination laws reflect Golden Rule

Bishop Peggy Johnson responded on Feb. 12 to a column in the Lehigh Valley publication Morning Call, by defending "updating" anti-discrimination laws as "simply the right thing to do." Disagreeing with views expressed by former Lehigh County Commissioner Dean Browning's ("Freedom of speech, religion under attack by many in U.S."), she wrote, "As the bishop of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference of The United Methodist Church, I believe that discrimination laws do not hinder religious freedom. "In fact, discrimination protections help all religious people live their lives more freely," she added. "That's why I support updating our laws to be sure that no one is discriminated against, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people." Learn more...

Do you have a desire--or better yet, a vision--to experience a global mission encounter in Southeast Asia? A UMC Global Ministries staff member is offering a remarkable travel opportunity to anyone with a mission-minded desire to visit the resplendent nation of Thailand. Karen Weiss, who helped lead our conference's Celebration of Mission last March, invites Eastern PA Conference members to join in a "vision trip" to Thailand, May 19-29, 2015, in order to visit and work at mission sites while fostering friendships with United Methodists and others there.

In Mission Together, a Global Ministries program. She is the Partnership Coordinator for Thailand and Mongolia. Our conference supports two missionaries in Thailand, Gary and Cindy Moon. The team of visitors will work with Prasiri UMC in Bangkok and then travel to Chiang Mai to work with girls at Angel's Haven Orphanage and also a new campus ministry there.
The trip will cost up to $2,500, and the first installment of $1,250 is due to purchase plane tickets by Feb. 22.
