Interpreter is an award-winning ministry magazine for lay and clergy leaders in local United Methodist churches across the United States. Articles in the magazine connect local church leaders to God, other United Methodist leaders, and ideas and resources to use in local church ministry. Published six times each year by United Methodist Communications, each issue includes a cover package of features providing ideas and resources addressing an area of interest or concern to local churches. All United Methodist clergy and seven lay leaders in each local church are entitled to receive Interpreter as a benefit of congregations’ support of the World Service Fund.
The Interpreter subscription process will be handled differently this year. Pastors will now receive this information directly from United Methodist Communications and not from the district offices. Expect to receive this information soon after your charge conference. The hope is that by preparing pastors for this change, they will be able to update the church’s Interpreter enrollment information for 2011 more easily. If your church is ready to update the 2011 enrollment information today, use the online option at www.umcom.org/subscriptions. For questions, United Methodist Communications Customer Service at 888-346-3862, or by e-mail csc@umcom.org.
