âItâs just hard to believe that God would use me to be an instrument 
for him
  to see the completion of the work.â â Fred Clark, a United 
Methodist from
       Pennsylvania who helped to rehabilitate a Sierra Leone church.

Partnership celebrates African church

   PANGUMA, Sierra Leone (UMNS) â Out of the rubble of civil war, a
   rehabilitated church stands as a symbol of peace and hope. On Nov. 
21,
   United Methodists from as far away as Camp Hill, Pa., joined 
Christians and
   Muslims in the African nation to dedicate the Lower Bambara United 
Methodist
   Church.

Review: New Narnia movie avoids risk

   NARNIA (UMNS)âIn C.S. Lewisâs âThe Voyage of the Dawn Treader,â 
Eustace, the
   peevish, younger cousin of Edmund and Lucy, is the central 
character. Edmund
   and Lucy have their share of adventures as the good ship Dawn 
Treader sails
   eastward to Aslanâs country. But it is the halting â at times 
excruciating
   â inner journey of Eustace that propels the story. Eustace 
sojourns from
   immature unbelief toward a begrudging acceptance of a world wider 
than his
   imagination.

UMCOR grant to help prevent cholera in Haiti

   NEW YORK (UMNS) â The United Methodist Committee on Relief has 
approved a
   grant to partner GlobalMedic to deploy a rapid response team to 
Haiti to
   provide water purification units to families in the greater 
Port-au-Prince
   area who have been affected by this fallâs cholera outbreak. More 
than
   72,000 cases of the disease have been reported, along with some 
1,700
   deaths.

   Another recent UMCOR grant to the Methodist Church of Haiti will 
help fund
   university scholarships for some 33 students over the course of 
their
   three-year studies. The Methodist Church of Britain and the United 
Church of
   Canada are also contributors to the program. [18]Donations to the 
Haiti
   Emergency can be made here.
