   "We can and should have feeding programs, soup kitchens, food pantries and
   gleaning drives to help feed hungry people, but if we are not working for
   livable wages, affordable housing and health care for everyone, then we are
   only doing half our job."
   - Jim Winkler, executive of United Methodist Board
   of Church and Society.

More children in poverty not a surprise

   WASHINGTON (UMNS) - Last month, the Annie E. Casey Foundation reported that
   another 2.4 million children joined the ranks of the U.S. poor during the
   past decade. Last week, the U.S. Census Bureau announced it counted the
   highest total of Americans living below the poverty line in the 52 years the
   bureau has tracked such data. For church members involved with food pantries
   and after-school programs, the reports mirror what they have been seeing.

N.D. confirmands live vows to do good

   MINOT, N.D. (UMNS) -"We vowed to do all the good we can. Just a week later,
   the flood happened. We were like … it's time to start doing good." When
   Kalob Thomas, 15, and six other United Methodist teens were confirmed this
   spring in Des Lacs and Minot, N.D., they anticipated a summer of earning
   extra money, learning to drive or just relaxing. But the lazy days of summer
   were not to be.

   WASHINGTON (UMNS) - Clergy representing diverse faith traditions from eight
   states will take part in a briefing Sept. 22 to underscore the importance of
   programming for women and men re-entering the community following
