   “When we embark on creating meaningful and memorable worship that is part of
   a community's spiritual journey over time, we also need a process to help
   guide our work.” — Marcia McFee, director of worship and music for General
   Conference 2012


Vegetables sprout health, hope in Omaha

   OMAHA, Neb. (UMNS) — The lettuce waiting to be served at the weekly Nebraska
   AIDS Project meal is fiercely protected. It has survived rain, heat, weeds
   and the ever-present hungry rabbits. Its protector is also its cultivator.
   Kevin Dorenbach is the head gardener of The Big Garden site, tucked in a
   grassy patch behind the Metropolitan Community Church in Omaha.

Three secrets to strong worship service

   TRUCKEE, Calif. (UMNS) — Do you have an intentional process for preparing
   worship that feeds your creative spirit rather than depletes it? When we
   create something, we usually have a process to follow: a recipe, a

   overwhelming or unpredictable. Marcia McFee, director of worship and music
   for General Conference 2012, offers three important concepts in a special
   from Interpreter Online.

Putting some meaning into ‘justice for all’

   NEW YORK (UMNS) — In her Bloombytes blog, UMNS reporter Linda Bloom writes
   that a new progress report on justice and equality for women around the
   world – released July 6 by U.N. Women – deserves some attention.

10-fold discussion to focus on church planting

   NEW YORK (UMNS) — The United Methodist Church’s goal of building 400
   churches outside the United States by 2012 is the topic of a July 10 online
   discussion at 10-fold.org, which includes a live chat at 5 p.m. and stories
   from people who are leading church-planting efforts in Russia, Cameroon,
   Senegal and Latvia.
