Creating a Holy Lent

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) â The Rev. Preston Price recites a prayerful liturgy
   and extinguishes a candle on each of the six Sundays of Lent. Other United
   Methodists use daily devotions or fast to mark the season of penitence.
   Interpreter OnLine offers ideas for remembering Christâs betrayal and death
   and anticipating his Resurrection.

Why ashes on Ash Wednesday?

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) â Many United Methodists today will mark the start
   of the Lenten season with the mark of a cross on their foreheads.


                                              [20]Hereâs an explanation»


Web ministry training

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) â United Methodist Communications plans to offer
   four online courses Feb. 29-April 11 to help churches integrate web ministry

Preaching from Dr. Kingâs pulpit

   MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UMNS) â The Rev. Jay D. Cooper writes about the experience
   of students at Emory Universityâs Candler School of Theology. As part of The
   Teaching Parish Program, the students recently preached sections of the Rev.
   Martin Luther King Jr.âs âI Have a Dreamâ speech from Kingâs first pulpit at
   Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church. Cooper is pastor of Montgomery
   First United Methodist Church.

What Iâve learned about church planting

   CRESTVIEW, Fla. (UMNS) â Six months ago, the Rev. Sean Peters began planting
   a new church, The Journey, in the Pensacola District of the Alabama-West

   lessons he has learned so far.
