  "As we continue to see numbers decline in the way of attendance by young
   people, it is now or never that this generation stands up and begins to
 'rethink' how we are doing things as a body." - Glen Simpson of the Desert
                  Southwest Annual (regional) Conference.

'50s church TV show features baseball icon

   MADISON, N.J. (UMNS) - The accomplishments that earned Jackie Robinson a
   place in the Baseball Hall of Fame are well documented. Robinson, who broke
   Major League Baseball's color barrier in 1947, had a storied career with the
   Brooklyn Dodgers. A 1958 television program produced by the Methodist Church
   offers a glimpse of Robinson in the role of civic leader.

Young adults: 'What should church look like?'

   LAS VEGAS (UMNS) - "Sin City" doesn't seem like the ideal place to hold a
   church event. But when 150 young adults converged on University United
   Methodist Church Feb. 18-20 for Relevance X 2011, they shared their faith
   and their dreams for how to shape the church toward the future.

Call to Action Interim Operations Team named

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) - The United Methodist Council of Bishops and the
   Connectional Table have named a seven-member Call to Action Interim
   Operations Team to work with church leaders in developing a denominational
   plan in preparation for the 2012 General Conference, the churchâs top
   lawmaking body, and beyond.

   The team includes a bishop, a general agency top executive, a church pastor
   and four laypeople with extensive experience with the church and the
   business world. The team's assignment is to be a catalyst for implementing
   significant change in denominational structures, policies, practices and
   leadership in ways that are aligned with God's call, the church's mission
   and the needs of the world in the 21st century.
