Participants will have an opportunity to explore and discuss contemporary topics and how they relate to the Christian faith in response to the call to Rethink Church. Participants who sign on for the Encounter Faith Bible study, available for free at [15]RethinkChurch.org/encounterfaith, will look at timely issues, such as the demonstrations in North Africa and the Middle East, through the lens of faith. [16]United Methodist Communications collaborated with the [17]United Methodist Publishing House to produce the online version of Cokeburyâs popular FaithLink: Connecting Faith and Life curriculum. FaithLink takes hot topics - from headline makers to faith questions - and makes them the focus of Bible study. Encounter Faith also complements the Rethink Church Lenten series, âFearless: The Courage to Question.â Event grows to challenge United Methodist youth NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) - United Methodist youth, ages 12-18, on both sides of the country will gather in July for a nationwide event sponsored by the United Methodist Board of Discipleship. For the first time, Youth 2011 will meet twice in two locations: July 13-16 at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., and July 27-30 at the Convention Center in Sacramento, Calif. "We just wanted everybody in the church nationwide to feel like they could attend without as much trouble as they may have had in the past," said Blake Thornell, Youth 2011 event coordinator.
