NE Statewide Reconciling United Methodists and friends: '
This is a time of pain and change, LOVE ON TRIAL - let's respond through our faith that gives us strength to know we are all CHILDREN OF GOD and we are ALL loved by God even during painful church trials, messiness and change!
We can get through this by our faith actions, responses - and becoming proactive - as givers, signers, activists and missionaries!
Actions: Send prayers, Sign Petitions, Give offerings, Write friends, Send love!
With the Trial of Amy DeLong this week and info below we have a few actions to send along with PRAYERS Daily this week ------- FOR ALL THOSE INVOLVED in the trial in Wisconsin -
1) Rev Gil Caldwell sent us the info on the Petition by Church Within A Church and the link to sign on TODAY- let's grow the list of names from Nebraska and beyond:
Colleagues for your information; The 592nd signature on our statement is that of my long-time
friend and colleague; The Rev. Dr.Yap Kim Hao, former Bishop of the Methodist Church in
Singapore and Malaysia. It would be great if you could secure additonal signatures from the USA,
or international, gay and straight, regardless of faith or non-faith perspective and inclusive of all races.
Share with your friends and colleagues the following link for their signature:
Gil Caldwell
ps Would be great if persons at the Amy DeLong trial would sign (or others too)
2) Give to the Summer Email Offering for Nebraska Statewide Reconciling Network -- as all of our gifts to directly to RMN for their ministries at the trial and SING A NEW SONG CONVO this summer - on behalf of our NEBRASKA Statewide Reconcliling network of friends!
