  â(âWorship & Songâ) makes you want to stand up and clap, and at the same
   time, it covers the necessity for somber times.ââ Bryan R. Dunn, United
                          Methodist music minister

Lent gets 21st-century makeover

   WASHINGTON (RNS) â Initiatives urging abstinence from alcohol and reduction
   of carbon usage are reinventing Lenten fasting by linking it to wider social
   causes, Religion News Service reports. Teetotaling, for example, is familiar
   turf in United Methodism, and now Lent provides a framework to consider the
   role alcohol plays in individual lives, families and society, said Cynthia
   Abrams, United Methodist Board of Church and Society.

Immigration task force meets in Washington

   WASHINGTON (UMNS) â Members of the United Methodist Interagency Task Force
   on Immigration met March 4 in Washington, led by Phoenix Area Bishop Minerva
   Carcaño and Iowa Area Bishop Julius Trimble. Some of the group attended a
   White House meeting and visited Senate and House offices to discuss needed
   changes in detention and deportation policies. Picture from left are
   Dionisio Salazar of the United Methodist Board of Global Ministries, retired
   Bishop ElÃas Galván, the Rev. Lorenza Andrade Smith of San Antonio and
   Carcaño.

Alert: Bishop warns of fraudulent Facebook page

   NEW YORK (UMNS) â New York Area Bishop Jeremiah Park warns that the Facebook
   page that bears his name is a fake. Several pastors have received an e-mail
   from what appears to be âBishop Jeremiah Parkâs Facebook pageâ that states
   the bishop is willing to lead a revival service and asks money for the
   travel expenses. Someone else set up the page using the bishopâs name and
   pictures. An investigation is in progress. Anyone receiving such an e-mail
   should not send money.
