  "On the World Wide Web, you have to be able to capture and maintain their
                 attention, and know when enough's enough."
           - The Rev. John Rudolph, Trinity UMC, Emmitsburg, Md.

Webcast helps pastor build online church

   EMMITSBURG, Md. (UMNS) - Give the Rev. John Rudolph five minutes, and he
   will give busy online seekers a weekly message that lifts up the Word of 
God
   in a new kind of Christian community. Last June, the pastor of Trinity
   United Methodist Church began filming and posting an informal, shortened
   version of his weekly sermon to help time-challenged people live
   Christ-centered lives outside of Sunday morning.

Agency offers 'Social Principles' bulletin inserts

   WASHINGTON (UMNS) - The United Methodist Board of Church and Society has
   developed bulletin inserts featuring individual United Methodist Social
   Principles. The inserts highlight positions approved by the 
denomination's
   highest  policy-making body, the General Conference, on issues such as
   immigrants, health care, religious minorities, racism and children's 
rights.

Restore hunger-related funding, groups urge

   WASHINGTON  (UMNS) - Twenty-eight organizations - including the United
   Methodist Board of Church and Society, Church World Service and Bread for
   the World - have [16]sent a letter to President Barack Obama, urging that
   funding be restored to a program that addresses hunger and food security
   issues in developing nations by improving the productivity of small 
farmers.
   The  Global  Agriculture and Food Security Program Trust Fund is a key
   component of the administration's global hunger-fighting initiative 
called
   "Feed the Future."
