BIBLE PASSAGE FOR SUNDAY

Jesus said,

I promise you that God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth, but he will not allow anything you don’t allow. I promise that when any two of you on earth agree about something you are praying for, my Father in heaven will do it for you. Whenever two or three of you come together in my name, I am there with you.

– Matthew 18:18-20,

UNITED METHODISTS TO ASSESS HURRICANE GUSTAV IMPACT

The United Methodist Committee on Relief is working with United Methodists in the U.S. Gulf Coast region to respond to Hurricane Gustav. Two million people fled the Gulf Coast as Gustav approached, but the intensity of the storm, when it struck Sept. 1. New Orleans, which had braced for the worst, escaped a direct hit as Gustav made landfall west of the city.

Gustav hit Baton Rouge, La., particularly hard. The UMCOR staff is on the ground in the region to begin assessing needs, according to the Rev. Tom Hazelwood, who leads UMCOR Emergency Services in the United States. Before Gustav made landfall, UMCOR staff members were in touch with the denomination’s Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama-West Florida annual conferences to offer support.

The UMCOR Sager Brown Depot in Baldwin, La., appeared to have suffered no structural damage from the hurricane, according to Hazelwood. Glenn Druilhet, the depot’s manager, reported that trees were down and power out in the Baldwin area, which escaped major damage. The depot is not expected to be operational again until the end of this week.

United Methodists are being encouraged by UMCOR to assemble flood buckets and other kits. Information about flood bucket preparation can be found at http://new.gbgm-umc.org/umcor/getconnected/supplies/flood-bucket/ online.

Donations to assist with relief efforts can be made to UMCOR Advance No. 3019695, “Hurricanes 2008, Hurricane Gustav,” for this emergency. Checks can be mailed to UMCOR, P.O. Box 9068, New York, NY 10087. Write the Advance number and name on the memo line of the check. Credit-card donations can be made online at http://secure.gbgm-umc.org/donations/umcor/donate.cfm?code=3019695&id=3019695.

Special church offerings for Hurricane Gustav relief received in Indiana need to be sent to either the North Indiana or South Indiana Conference treasurers. – UMNS

NORTH INDIANA CONFERENCE’S OAKWOOD PARK, INN CLOSES ITS DOORS

The Oakwood Christian Retreat and Conference Center in Syracuse, Ind., on Lake Wawasee, closed its doors on Aug. 31. According to the North Indiana Conference, which now owns the property, the Oakwood Foundation and staff have been preparing for the closing for weeks and will complete their work by month’s end. Their hope is to find a buyer who will continue a ministry in the future at Oakwood. The conference advanced significant funds to keep the facility open through Aug. 31. The North Indiana Conference will continue to employ a small staff to manage and maintain the property. The Oakwood Property Owners Association also has made arrangements with the Syracuse Police and Kosciusko County Sheriff for additional security, including the establishment of a Neighborhood Watch Program to keep the property secure. The North Indiana Conference has had contact from more than a dozen individuals and groups, some religious ones, who are interested in the property. A marketing package is being developed by a national firm, specializing in hotel and resort properties. Meanwhile, North Indiana Conference leaders have met with and will continue to work with the Oakwood Property Owners’ Association Board to address their concerns and needs.

NEW ALBANY’S SMOKING BAN ORDINANCE VETOED BY MAYOR ENGLAND

Saying he was acting “in the spirit of compromise,” New Albany Mayor Doug England on Sept. 2 vetoed an ordinance that would have banned smoking in most enclosed public places, including bars and restaurants. Instead of the comprehensive ban outlined in the measure that the City Council approved 5-4 last month, England recommended exceptions to permit smoking in bars and restaurants with bars, if they serve and employ only people 21 and older. “I pledge to sign” an ordinance with those changes, England said at a news conference.

It wasn’t clear, however, whether any council member would agree to introduce a revised ordinance. England’s veto was immediately hailed by opponents of the smoking ban and criticized by its supporters. Both groups were represented among the approximately 50 people who gathered at the City-County Building for England’s Sept. 2 statement. He took no questions.

Trish Meyer, owner of Studio’s Pub and Grill, called the veto “a good thing,” adding that she hopes that consideration of a smoking ban has ended, at least for now.

The nine-member council could override the veto if a two-thirds majority – at least six members – vote to do so. But no members have indicated a willingness to change their votes, and the council could decide to let the veto stand. – Louisville Courier-Journal

UNITED METHODIST MEN SEEKS TO REACH ALL MEN

With its goal to “help men know Jesus Christ,” the Commission on United Methodist Men must reach out beyond its chartered local church chapters to connect with a wider range of men, say its leaders. “Our goal is to help men grow in Christ so others may know Christ,” said the Rev. David Adams, who was re-elected top staff executive of the commission during the Aug. 22-24 meeting of its board of directors. “Churches should hold the charter of United Methodist Men because the charter includes all men of the church. Our focus should be outward, not inward. We need to be invitational and provide many entry points for men,” he said. These entry points include mission trips, teaching opportunities, Bible studies, home repairs and scout troops. “Don’t tell men what to do,” Adams said. “Invite them to action.”

Celebrating its 100th birthday this year, United Methodist Men is a ministry to and through all men. To help congregations cast a wider net, the commission is training “men’s ministry specialists” and soon will begin a program for “scouting ministries specialists.” – UMNS

BISHOP KING TO LEAD MEN’S MINISTRY AGENCY

Following a year-long celebration of its centennial anniversary, the agency responsible for men’s ministry elected Bishop James King as president of the 25-member board. Meeting August 21-24 in the agency’s Nashville, Tenn., offices, the Commission on United Methodist Men asked King to lead the agency for the next four years. As he assumes office with United Methodist Men, King, 61, will be moving from Kentucky to South Georgia. He succeeds Gil Hanke, a layman from Nacogdoches, Texas. – UMNS

BISHOP ERNEST W. NEWMAN DEAD AT AGE 80

United Methodist Bishop Ernest W. Newman, the church’s first African American elected bishop in the southeastern United States, has died at age 80. Newman died on Aug. 28 in Atlanta, where he lived. He served as bishop over the church’s Nashville Area from 1984 until his retirement in 1992. “Bishop Ernest W. Newman was our bishop – the first African-American elected from Southeast Jurisdiction,” said Pamela Crosby, executive director of Black Methodists for Church Renewal, the denomination’s black caucus. “… Our caucus lifts up the great work of this man who served with distinction in the episcopacy and whose family remains at the heart of Methodism.” In 1984, Newman was elected to the episcopacy from the church’s Florida Annual (regional) Conference, where he was a district superintendent. There, he also had been the conference’s first black pastor of a large all-white congregation. Funeral services are scheduled for Sept. 2 at Warren United Methodist Church in Atlanta. – UMNS

CHURCHES URGED TO PRAY SEPT. 21 FOR PEACE

WASHINGTON (UMNS) – United Methodist churches and other congregations and religious groups are being asked to pray for world peace Sunday, Sept. 21, in observance of the International Day of Prayer for Peace. The day coincides with the U.N. International Day of Peace and is an initiative of the World Council of Churches’ Decade to Overcome Violence. The idea was proposed in 2004 during a meeting between the Rev. Samuel Kobia, top executive of the WCC, and then-U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. This year’s theme is “Witnessing to God’s Peace,” and the focus will be on the Pacific region. Next year’s regional focus will be on the Caribbean, followed by Africa in 2010, the last year of the WCC’s decade-long emphasis. The Sept. 21 observance includes a 24-hour United Nations International Day of Peace Vigil, in which people from a wide range of spiritual traditions will hold observances for peace and nonviolence. People interested in participating are asked to register on the International Day of Peace vigil Web site. – UMNS

INDIANA NEARS 3 MILLION JOBS WITH A GROWING LABOR FORCE

The number of jobs available in Indiana is increasing, and the state’s labor force is growing – two positive indicators for the economy, says the deputy director for the Indiana Business Research Center (Terre Haute Tribune-Star). Indiana once again is approaching the three-million job mark, says Carol Rogers of IBRC, part of Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. “Even though we hear a lot about some of the jobs losses we’ve had in manufacturing … at the same time, we’ve been adding a significant number of jobs over the past few years,” she said. “We’re nearly back to a historical peak of three million jobs.” The problem is the job creation may not be occurring in the communities where plants are closing and many people are losing jobs, she said. If people are willing to move, jobs – including higher paying jobs – are available in the Hoosier state, she said. But when people have roots in a community, they may not want to move, she said. Rogers also says that the Indiana labor force has increased substantially since the 1990s. The labor force includes those who are working and those actively seeking work (the unemployed). – Howey Politics Indiana

INDIANA VOTER REGISTRATION SURGES

Voter registration figures in Indiana are surging, prompting state election officials to speculate about a record turnout on Election Day (Ruthhart, Indianapolis Star). Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita reports that his office has received more than 500,000 new or updated voter registrations since Jan. 1. In total, nearly 4.4 million Hoosiers are eligible to vote, and about six weeks remain before the Oct. 6 registration deadline. – Howey Politics Indiana

NEWS AND INFORMATION ABOUT FLOOD RELIEF

FLOOD BUCKETS, HEALTH KITS TO BE GATHERED AT SPECIAL SESSION

As a means to pay forward, the North Indiana and South Indiana Disaster Relief Coordinators are asking each United Methodist church in Indiana to bring Flood Buckets and/or Health Kits to the Special Session of the North Indiana and South Indiana Annual Conference at the Indiana State Fairground on Saturday, Oct. 4. The Midwest Mission Distribution Center is scheduled to have a semi-truck on the State Fairgrounds for the collection of theses items saving many congregations trips to the Illinois-based center.

MDC would prefer completely assembled kits. In addition, MMDC also greatly appreciates loose contents of each of the two kits. Financial donations also will be accepted to offset transportations costs as well as to buy additional items to complete the kits.

The contents of flood buckets and health kits can be found online at www.midwestmissiondc.org/index.cfm?go=GetPage&id=143.

For more information about MMDC, log on to www.midwestmissiondc.org.

MMDC is related to the Illinois Great Rivers Conference of The United Methodist Church.

Thank you for your generous contributions, making a difference in Indiana and around the world.
