  "For God to send a strange opportunity like this, I figure that God 
must
 have something in mind for us." â The Rev. James "K" Karpen, senior 
pastor
        of the Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew, United Methodist.

Church stars in CBS Christmas Eve special

   NEW YORK (UMNS) â When members of the Church of St. Paul and St. 
Andrew,
   United Methodist, were given the chance to produce a Christmas Eve 
special
   for CBS-TV, they pulled together their talent, money and prayers 
to make it
   happen. The result is "A Christmas for Everyone."

Anti-malaria campaign takes preparation

   BO, Sierra Leone (UMNS) â Life-saving mosquito nets were piled 
high in
   stacks all over this southern Sierra Leone district, from a 
registration
   table outside a hospital to the top of women's heads as they 
carried the
   nets back to their villages. Getting to this point required 
tremendous time
   and effort to build trust in a nation still recovering from an 
11-year civil
   war that ended officially in 2002.

UMTV: Microloans for Christmas

   MEADVILLE, Pa. (UMTV) â Most of the gifts we give and receive 
during the
   holidays don't really change our lives. A college student in 
Pennsylvania is
   encouraging his peers to give small gifts that will influence 
generations to
   come through microloans. You can view UMTV's "Microloans for 
Christmas" at
   [18]http://bit.ly/enRQTX. You can also find the latest UMTV videos 
on
   Facebook if you become a fan of the page for The United Methodist 
Church.

Virginia honors Society of St. Andrew

   RICHMOND, Va. (UMNS) â The United Methodist-related Society of St. 
Andrew
   received a certificate from Virginia's first lady, Maureen

gleaning
   America's fields in order to bridge the hunger gap in Virginia." 
The "First
   Lady's Opportunity Hall of Fame Awards" are designed to "bring 
attention to
   the great work being done by selfless people around the 
Commonwealth."
