   "I feel like that every local church should do anything they can to make
   sure that every youth attends a mission trip sometime during those
   years...because I believe it's so formative in what they do and how they see

   Beverly Boehmer, coordinator of Youth and College Ministries for the
   Missouri Annual (regional) Conference.

Putting faith in Wall Street

   GLENVIEW, Ill. (UMNS) - Part of the job at the denomination's pension agency
   is to "do good" while still making good returns. To that end, the United

   Investment Management, a new brand name for its institutional investment
   services, which work to apply the church's teachings to stock selections.
