Celebrating Native American gifts and culture
In recounting the Council of Bishops meeting places at Lake Junaluska in 2013 and Oklahoma City this year, Bishop Ward remembers the Trail of Tears and asks us to be mindful and thankful for the Native American gifts and culture in our midst and in the body of Christ.

Sharing the greatest gift of all
A UMC national advent advertising campaign will launch Nov. 17. Watch for this video on television and in digital advertising spaces and let friends and fellow church members know to watch. Visit the Rethink Church store to download :30 and :15 videos for free. Order a customizable :23 video by emailing a request to mediaservices@umcom.org. Deadline to order is Dec. 1. Also available is a new sermon starter with worship slides, bulletin covers, and invitation cards to welcome people into your worship services. See more at Advent resources.

Perkins School of Youth Ministry
The Perkins School of Youth Ministry, Jan. 12-15, is a dynamic training and networking conference for youth ministry pastors, practitioners and volunteers who are passionate about youth ministry. During PSYM, youth ministry workers can study with respected scholars and leaders in youth ministry and Christian education, build relationships with their peers, refine their vision for youth ministry and refuel and renew their calling through worship, prayer and fellowship. More information about schedule, leaders, and workshops here.

Faith Communities to connect with military families
The 5th Annual “Forward March: Moving Military Families Forward During Challenging Times,” taking place on Nov. 20-21, is one of the most unique and innovative conferences in the country in support of veterans, service members, and their families. Forward March hosts military-connected individuals, non-profit organizations, behavioral health professionals, educators, and faith-based and community organizations, to help identify and meet the unique needs of military-connected families faced with multiple deployments, transitions, and reintegration.
