 "Every time we say something mean, we fail Christ. To be a Christian 
comes
 with an obligation to be good to others, to leave the world a better 
place
 than you found it." - Parry Aftab, executive director of WiredSafety 
and a
                             United Methodist.

Churches can help youth fight cyberbullies

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) - Whether it be sporting rivalries, 
political
   disputes or opposing religious views, the ability to write 
whatever one
   pleases in anonymity from a remote distance leads people to say 
things they
   would never dare say to another person's face. But churches have 
the power
   to discourage Internet harassment and promote healthy uses of 
technology.

UMCOR plans new food project for Sudan

   NEW YORK (UMNS) - The food shortage in South Sudan is so severe 
that more
   than half of the residents in two counties say they regularly skip 
meals.
   The  United  Methodist  Committee  on  Relief is planning an 
ambitious
   food-security project to assist the people there. But political 
unrest could
   cause delays.

Rethink Church offers Advent series

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) - This Advent, United Methodist 
Communications will
   offer "[17]A Life-Giving Christmas," a lectionary-based sermon 
series with
   accompanying resources for the four Sundays of Advent. Each 
component echoes
   the focus of the denomination's Rethink Church advertising and 
welcoming
   campaign.
   Included in the sermon series are ideas for engaging congregants 
via a
   church's social media channels. Related to the free sermon series 
is an
   optional media bundle. It features five videos for use in worship 
or study,
   print and slide graphics, and templates for invitation cards, door 
hangers
   and direct mail. The bundle is available for $25 from the United 
Methodist
   Communications e-store or by calling toll-free (888) 346-3862. To 
learn more
   about     Rethink     Church    resources    and    products,
