Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
'My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.'
She responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full '
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist & entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.
Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive....

United Methodist Churches should know:

An addendum was added to the Book of discipline in 2019 allowing churches to withdraw from the UMC with all their property if they meet these three stipulations:
1) be current on their apportionment payments and pay on year forward.
2) pay all unfunded pension money - this figure is determined by annual conference
3) to have no outstanding loans
Although, there is a deadline for this to happen- 12-31-2023.
Western Pa conference has also added two other stipulations
4) 20 % of the county provided tax assessment value of all property
5) 11.1% of the balance for all unrestricted endowments and investments.
(This is a condensed version of this - if you are interested in this, you should do some research on your own)
It is my understanding that in order to meet this deadline and take advantage of this addendum, we must vote to dissafiliate at a church conference. 2/3 majority of members present at the meeting is required. Then a committee is appointed to negotiate terms of disaffiliation and another church conference is scheduled and another vote is taken. 2/3 majority is needed again. This allows time for annual conference to vote on it next June.
Prayers:
for the disaffiliation meetings
Bishops and staff conducting the meetings
All speakers
All churches in these meetings
All churches thinking of leaving
Guard meeting places from evil influence
Make a way LORD if it is your will
More listening than speaking
Help us know your will, not ours

When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.

Max Lucado says this about prayer: "Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference."
