   "It takes us back to the Wesleyan tradition of small groups. Jesus grew his
   disciples from fishermen, and then sent them out in twos." - George Houle,
   Wesleyan Building Brothers coordinator for Kansas

Faith UMC waits for Minot flood to recede

   MINOT, N.D. (UMNS) - With muddy floodwater filling the church's basement and
   soaking its sanctuary, members of Faith United Methodist Church in Minot met
   at Vincent United Methodist Church Sunday. A newsletter from the [16]Dakotas
   Annual (regional) Conference said the pastors of the two United Methodist
   churches in Minot are "providing worship and ministry" together at Vincent.

Agency looking for a few (million) good men

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) - The average Protestant church has 39 percent men
   and 61 percent women, according to a [18]study of 300,000 worshippers in
   2,000 congregations across the United States. No one believes we have too
   many women, but many congregations want to find ways to reach the 69 million
   men who don't attend any church.

Brewer named to connectional relations post

   NASHVILLE, Tenn (UMNS) - During the spring meeting of the [20]United
   Methodist Council on Finance and Administration, Scott Brewer was elected
   assistant general secretary for connectional relations. Brewer has been with
   the finance agency since 2001. Brewer will be responsible for strengthening
   relationships between annual (regional) conferences and general council as
   well as continued oversight of the general council's data collection,
   record-keeping and research functions.

   "Scott has built solid relationships with many in annual conference
   leadership and this promotion is recognition of work that has already
   begun," said the Rev. Pat Youngquist, deputy general secretary of
   operations. "His passion for the local church's mission and his
   understanding of how we do our work together makes him the right person to
   facilitate the transition from paper to digital data and reporting."



Long-term recovery training in Alabama, Tennessee

   NEW YORK (UMNS) - Church World Service, a United Methodist partner, will
   offer a series of July training seminars in Alabama and Tennessee for
   individuals and churches wanting to establish long-term recovery
   organizations.
   The seminars are titled "Recovery Tools and Training." "Even with maximum
   assistance from federal, state and local governments, from insurance and
   charitable donations, it will take years for the area to fully recover,"
   said Brian Crousore, Church World Service emergency response specialist,
   who will lead the agency's daylong training sessions. For more information,
   contact Crousure at (515) 867-0612.
