NE RUM's and friends: Upcoming events and opportunities : Awaken your spirit!
Another great year of Spiritual Awakening in NE, Believe OUTLOUD and Reconciling goes on the Road - find an event and carpool or go worship somewhere new and take friends with you! Get together for Meetup: coffee, tea or a good book, movie, conversations! Do a service project or missions to those in need with friends .. reach out to others as Jesus reached out to the marginalized of his day!
One of my good friend's mom's died this week, Helen Witters of Christ UMC, Lincoln and married to Lee Witters! Her memorial service was yesterday at Christ UMC, Lincoln. Helen and Lee were very supportive of our RUMOLA group getting started in Lincoln. They would often come and share info, laughter and insight! In Helen's Obituary this week in the Lincoln paper the family listed that she was a RECONCILING UNITED METHODIST!
What a witness Helen has made to the world even in her death and we celebrate life on earth. We send love to their family in Lincoln -- Mark, Laurie, Alex and Maesen Churchill who are also Reconciling United Methodists and their loved ones...
and especially to Lee Witters her beloved husband.
The saints who have gone before us are part of our spiritual awakening each day!
