Rethink Church Advertisement Hilarity
Please see the screenshot below and tell me this is not hilarious. The UMC puts banner advertisement on the LA Times and happens to have the "Rethink Church" banner above a shot of the Sasha Cohen/Eminem encounter from the MTV Movie Awards last night.
I wonder how many hits they might be getting from people checking out that article and intrigued about "Rethinking Church"?
I know my initial thought was this: "If a church is willing to advertise about rethinking church above a picture of a disgusted Eminem with a naked butt in his face, I might just have to check this out."
Have to love technology. Click on the image to see it full screen.

40 Days of Prayer Update
Ben Simpson has let us know that so far through downloads and purchases of hard bound copies of the 40 Days of Prayer Book that we have raised enough funds to purchase 17 Bed Nets for Nothing But Nets.
It is exciting to see the connection between prayer and action demonstrated through the campaign. The Facebook group now has over 400 people who have joined saying they are participating and joining in prayer.
I am heading off to the Minnesota Annual Conference which starts tomorrow so keep the AC session in your prayers too.

40 Days of Prayer: Day 4
The prayer for renewal continues:
Day 4 by Stephanie Gottschalk
Remember, if you would like to download a digital copy of the book containing all 40 prayers (put together by the hard work of Ben Simpson) you can either do that for $10 or you can order a hard bound copy (for those who like to touch and feel things and flip pages) for $16.50. The thing that is most exciting about these options for me is the fact that the proceeds (minus production costs) are going to Nothing but Nets. As Ben updates us on how the campaign is going I will keep everyone who reads this updated on how much money (or how many Nets) have been raised through the campaign.

40 Days of Prayer: Day 1 (It Begins!)
One thing that has always been an important part of my faith journey is my prayer life. It is something that my mother instilled in me at a young age. So I was very excited when Ben Simpson had a prompting to pray for renewal within the United Methodist Church. From that initial prompting a 40 day campaign of prayer for the United Methodist Church was birthed within the young clergy that had connected via technology (the internets that Al Gore invented....who knew Al Gore would play such an instrumental part in the hope for renewal within the United Methodist Church?)
Anyway, today marks the beginning of the 40 days and each day I will post a link to the prayer for the day. So here it goes:
Day 1 by Andrew Conard.
If you are someone who would like to have a digital copy of the whole book or would like to order a hard copy (for all you tangible people) they are available here.
You can download a digital copy for $10 or a hard-bound copy for $16.50. The best part about that is that all the proceeds (minus production cost) will go to support the ministry of Nothing But Nets which helps purchase Bed Nets for those areas that battle with malaria via mosquitos.
Please consider joining us as we pray for God's reign within the United Methodist Church.
