Resources
Lenten study on anti-racism
General Commission on Religion and Race is offering online Lenten resources for purchase. "Faithful Lent: Connecting the Practices of Lent and Anti-racism", is a small group resource to help make connections between the traditions of Lent and the work of anti-racism. This curriculum is available to buy and download. Click here.
Lenten resources
The season of Lent is essential for those who truly seek to be disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Because a part of what we learn in this time of self-examination is that we are what might be most in need of transformation. We might find that what might need to grow in faith and discipleship is the church and that the transformation of the world begins with building bridges and gathering up rather than with condemnation. Join with other churches by downloading this series.
 
To view download and other resources, click here.
NEW- Dismantling racism resource: Consider confronting racism during Lent
Truth-telling, repentance, confession, and renewal are essential Lenten practices and central to the Christian faith. As a season for atonement and holiness, Lent is a perfect time for addressing the sin of racism. The United Methodist Commission on Religion and Race is inviting all Christians to confront racism as a Lenten practice.

Focusing on discipleship
The mission of the United Methodist Church is creating disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. So, what is a disciple?
 
The Upper New York Conference has updated our website to better highlight the focus of our Conference—the tab for “our focus” is on our homepage— https://www.unyumc.org. In this section we list six characteristics that define a disciple of Jesus Christ. Click here to read “Our Focus.”
 
Another great resource to learn more about creating disciples is the See all the People website, which is a movement to “stop fixing our church and start seeing all the people Christ calls us to reach.” #Seealllthepeople has dozens of resources on creating intentional discipleship systems and methods of building relationships.

Additional training steps will be provided over time. Imagine what God will do as more and more churches develop their process for Making Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World!
Women’s History Month
resource recommendations from UMW
March is Women’s History Month—a time to lift up all the women who have made an impact on our collective history.
 
For over 150 years, since the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society was first formed in 1869 in Boston, United Methodist Women (UMW) has been on the forefront of developing leaders, fostering spiritual growth, and advocating for justice.
 
During Women’s History Month, UMW honor not only the history of United Methodist Women, but of all women.
 
Click here to celebrate Women’s History Month with UMW-suggested resources—next month and every month.
Women in ministry: Then and now

Women who found movements are sometimes designated as “mothers.” In early Methodism, the women who earned this title bore it as a mark of distinction. They became revered as “Mothers in Israel,” an honorific which linked them and their piety, courage, and leadership with Deborah the Judge in the Old Testament.
 
In honor of Women’s History Month, click here to learn about the “Mothers of Israel” then and now.
 
The Church today benefits greatly from the unique leadership of women in ministry who stand on the shoulders of their spiritual foremothers. 
Critical race theory and what Christians should know

Critical Race Theory (CRT) examines how laws in the United States have built and supported racial inequities. It is an ideological framework that names race as a social construct and asserts racialized inequities in society are fostered by historic and current systemic, institutional, and legal policies and practices.

New- We are witnesses: Easter worship series

The season after Easter is where we consider what it means to walk with Jesus into eternity. But it is not about life after death, or rather not only about life after death. It is very much about life before death, life in the face of death. It is about life and about bearing witness to a life that resembles a kin-dom existence right here and right now. It is this life, this justice and righteousness, this hope and this glory to which we can say with confidence, “We are witnesses.”
