Bishop's Special Offering at Annual Conference

Through the years, North GA United Methodists (including IPUMC!) have given generously to the Bishop's Offering for global mission initiatives like Imagine No Malaria, and local missions like Action Ministries.

The 2017 Bishop's Offering is for the Ministerial Education Fund (MEF) to provide educational funds for seminary students and licensed local pastors.

The need is great, the mission is worthwhile and the results provide called, gifted and educated pastors for our churches. Please, give generously! Click here for a short video featuring some of our North GA beneficiaries of MEF.

Summer SERVE Opportunity with the IPC Book Club!

Inman Park Church Book Club has decided to support The Stewart Center this summer as an outgrowth of the things we have been reading and discussing.

The Stewart Center hosts a summer camp and needs groups to provide lunch each day for the kids. We have agreed to provide lunch on three Tuesdays this summer. This involves menu planning, grocery shopping, advance prep, and set-up/serving/clean-up on the specified day. Thus, there are a variety of ways and times people can be involved.

We wanted to share this opportunity with the larger church in case others want to join us. Anyone who is interested is welcome to contact Kristen Vincent at kevincent619@gmail.com or 770-823-4848.

There's also music, Beer & Hymns, food trucks, camping, and all manner of zaniness. It always draws some of the best contemporary Christian speakers and musicians. Seriously, not to be missed!

Kristen will be offering a workshop on her new book, Beads of Healing. She'll also have a booth where she'll be selling prayer beads, holding crosses, Deeply Loved merchandise, and much more!

Ecumenical Prayer Cycle

As a way to remember our connection with Christians around the globe, we will start using a great prayer tool: the Ecumenical Prayer Cycle. Each week of the year a number of countries are highlighted to lift up in prayer. There are also prayers written by Christians in those countries that you can use. By following the cycle throughout the year, you would pray your way around the globe. We will start listing the different countries each week in our prayer list.

For the week of May 21 pray for: Indian Ocean Islands: Comoros, Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles

To find out more and to find links to the prayers from countries around the world click here.
