Bishop to address 2020 District Conferences beginning tonight |
A week of virtual District Conferences begins tonight, meeting via Zoom on four evenings, rather than simultaneously as usual:
-
South District: Tuesday, Sept. 15, 6:30 PM
-
East District: Wednesday, Sept. 16, 6:30 PM
-
North District: Thursday Sept. 17, 6:30 PM
-
West District: Monday, Sept. 21, 6:30 PM
Bishop Peggy Johnson will speak to each of the conferences. Using a Powerpoint presentation, and Isaiah 43:19, she will talk about the challenging “new things” happening across the church, the nation and the world, and the adjustments all have had to make. But also new are the inventive forms of ministry--mostly online--that churches have learned and the broad, energetic commitment to addressing the sin of racism and its brutal consequences in our society, especially in law enforcement.
The bishop will further call on churches to “continue the work of discipleship” in new, adaptive ways and to support the new appeal for funding for our struggling camp and retreat centers. And she will report on the upcoming, online, streamlined Annual Conference and update district members on plans for General, Jurisdictional and Annual conferences in 2021.
In addition, districts will fill vacant equalizing-lay-member-to-conference slots for the rest of this quadrennium and will also celebrate new clergy retirees, recognize persons preparing for commissioning and ordination in October, and address other concerns.
Materials for the conferences to view in advance were emailed this week:

Time to shine the light of Christmas!
Christmas Cards to Inmates ministry resumes
|
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Eastern PA Conference’s undaunted Prison Ministry and Restorative Justice Team is moving forward with a modified continuation of its successful Christmas Cards to Inmates program, which they began in 2014. The 2020 outreach effort launched on Monday, Sept. 14, and will end Nov. 2.
This year, the team hopes churches will prepare cards from the designs offered on their webpage. Or churches can pick up small bags of prepared cards with instructions from either the Conference Office or regional church pick-up and drop-off locations. See the list on their webpage, and check back as more locations are added.
All signed cards, with optional messages of encouragement and hope, must be returned to these locations by the deadline of Nov. 2.

CONAM provides liturgy to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day Oct. 11 |
The Conference Committee on Native American Ministries (CONAM) is appealing to churches to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day on Sunday, Oct. 11, in lieu of Columbus Day on Oct. 12. The substitution is recommended to commemorate the lives, cultures and histories of indigenous people who were tragic victims of Christopher Columbus and other European explorers who brought massive deaths and destruction to the Americas that they claimed to “discover” and went on to conquer and colonize.
CONAM also offers a recommended worship liturgy for the Indigenous Peoples Day celebration. Learn more...

Church continues annual backpack ministry safely |
Wesley UMC in Bethlehem, PA, wasn’t about to cancel its 8-year tradition of giving away thousands of back-to-school backpacks and other goodies to families just because of a daunting pandemic. While it had to curtail many of the usual, festival-like features of its annual outreach event—free food, fun entertainment, free children’s haircuts and other extras —the main event proceeded safely and efficiently as planned, with a “show must go on” determination.
The church gave away 1,500 much-needed backpacks, socks, and underwear to families from across the Lehigh Valley August 15, adding to the roughly 10,000. Learn more…

Offering ‘Hands of Hope’ to the community |
Mt. Zion UMC in Darby, which has operated a small community food pantry for 10 years, went big on Saturday, August 15, in partnership with Union Memorial UMC Darby. Members gave out 300 large, heavy, boxes of free food to grateful neighbors in the church parking lot and delivered 12 boxes to homebound seniors.
The boxes were dropped off at 7 AM by Blessings of Hope, a regional food supply ministry based in the Lancaster area. To fund this unusual giveaway, the church sought and received a $10,000 grant from UMCOR (the UM Committee on Relief) to purchase the food. Learn more...

By Bishop Peggy A. Johnson
Every day I watch a local newscast that gives COVID-19 updates and health reminders. Yesterday they talked about the “Four “W’s.” They are as follows:
1) “W” – Wear your mask
2) “W” – Watch your distance (at least 6 feet)
3) “W” – Wash your hands
4) “W” – Open the Windows to keep fresh air circulating.
These “Four W’s” caught my eye and my heart, not only because it is a catchy way to remember these important virus protection practices, but because it could also be a parable about personal holiness in the life of the Christian believer. Learn more…

Whites Confronting Racism: Anti-racism education arouses new awareness, action
|
I considered myself fairly aware before joining Whites Confronting Racism, but the breadth and depth of what I learned was pretty amazing. Among the things I was struck by was the powerful subtlety of racism – how we as whites participate so much in its maintenance without even being aware of our participation.
— Rev. Mark Terry (right), Senior Pastor, Covenant UMC Springfield, PA
Whites Confronting Racism may seem aptly named for participants of this eye-opening, mind-expanding, soul-baring anti-racism educational experience. It’s an experience that is especially timely now in our nation’s current racial turmoil and hoped-for transformation.
The Rev. Mark Terry is one of 15 Eastern PA Conference clergy and one young adult missionary—all White persons—who went through the intensive, three-session training—nine days total—in March, July and September 2019. Included were extensive reading, challenging discussions and exercises, homework assignments and more in-depth, interactive work among small groups that continues even now.
“I feel this training has prepared us for this time, when folks in our churches and communities are more open to hearing and using phrases like ‘Black Lives Matter,” said the Rev. David Tatgenhorst, pastor of St. Luke UMC in Bryn Mawr. “I think there really is a thirst now for people to deepen their understanding of racism.” Learn more...

Panel to discuss theological roots of racism and colonialism |
On Wednesday, Sept. 16, at 1 PM, on Facebook Live, hear a panel of experts discuss the Church’s unique ability to “theologically interpret our current realities, naming where God is present and where humanity is called to help bring about the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.” The realities of racism in our communities brings about challenging questions: If we are the people who are called to “love our neighbors,” why do we see such racism within our religious communities and structures? Why does racism abound within the United States and across the world? How can we as Christians partner with God to help bring about liberation and the beloved community?
Panelists will be:
Dr. Mai-Anh Le Tran, vice president for Academic Affairs, academic dean and associate professor of religious education and practical theology at Garrett-Evangelical, is an elder of the California-Nevada Conference.
Rev. Edgardo Colón-Emeric, an associate professor of reconciliation and theology, is director of the Center for Reconciliation and senior strategist of the Hispanic House of Studies at Duke Divinity School. He was the first Latino elder in the UMC’s North Carolina Conference.
Dr. Willie James Jennings, associate professor of Systematic Theology and Africana Studies at Yale Divinity School, is an award-winning author and widely recognized as a major figure in theological education across North America. Jennings’ book, The Christian Imagination: Theology and the Origins of Race, has been called “a theological masterpiece.”
Erin Hawkins, former head of the General Commission on Religion and Race, will moderate the discussion. She is now Director of Connectional Ministries in the California-Pacific Conference.
This panel discussion serves as a springboard for the remainder of our 2020 conversations, and we will also be revisiting the topic of colonialism at the November 18, 2020, panel discussion. Learn more...

‘Fight for Floyd’ groups seek remedies to racial injustice |
Nearly 300 participants joined an Eastern PA Conference video-conference on Zoom June 1 seeking ways to “Fight for Floyd,” following the brutal, racist killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police just a week earlier on May 25.
Sponsored by the Conference’s Urban Commission, the large online gathering posed a challenging question to which many still seek an answer: “Where do we go from here?” The two-hour dialogue, with diverse participants from across the conference and beyond, included guest speakers– criminal justice officials, community leaders and pastors—who voiced grave concerns but no sure remedies.
Seeking remedies is the work of three committees that emerged from that dialogue and that meet monthly to share information and experiences and try to plan and implement responsive actions. The groups, which number more than a dozen members each and include many non-United Methodists, seek to address the present crisis of racial injustice from three directions: Community Development; Education; and Public Policy.
The Urban Commission will convene the groups and others who want to be involved in the Fight for Floyd at a summit on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 11 AM, at Carson Simpson Farm Camp and Retreat Center. The event will also be viewable on Zoom. Learn more…

World Communion Sunday, Oct. 4 |
Around the globe, countless gifted and qualified people face financial obstacles that hinder them from preparing for the vocation God has given them, especially youth and young adults. For racial-ethnic students who will be the first generation in their families to attend college, or for those people of color who haven’t historically had access to resources that make higher education possible, the road toward education has often been unwieldy.
On World Communion Sunday your giving helps to provide scholarships for national and international graduate students whom God has gifted to learn and to serve. Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” And because the people of The United Methodist Church believe that all of God’s children have been created and gifted to build the kingdom Jesus ushered in, we’re resourcing them to do just that.
Because of your giving on World Communion Sunday, the most powerful tool to change the world is in more hands. Give online or give by mail: Send checks to: GCFA P.O. Box 340029 Nashville, TN 37203. Click here for WCS Resources. Give Now!

Bishop’s Letter: Fundraising Appeal for Camps |
Bishop Peggy Johnson appealed to Eastern PA Conference churches and members in a letter this week to support our four Camp & Retreat Centers as they struggle financially from the cancellation of Summer Camp and numerous events in the still looming shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The camps have had to make painful choices to cut staff and other costs, while trying to offer limited activities online and onsite, uncertain of when the pandemic will end and if they will recover.
But the bishop, in her August 27 letter, expresses faith in the Holy Spirit and hope in the support that already exists for the camps, which she describes as “important mission extension outposts for our churches and the greater community. They are one of the most effective evangelism tools we have," she writes. "Thus, I am asking you--churches, members and friends of our Conference—to embrace a vision of what it would look like if every church would donate $300 to support our camp centers and avoid a budget shortfall.” Read more...
