New Vows of Church Membership to be used beginning in 2009
From the General Board of Discipleship Website, written by Taylor Burton-Edwards
Among the many actions taken by the 2008 General Conference were revisions to paragraphs 217 and 225 of the 2004 Book of Discipline that changed vows for all professing members in The United Methodist Church and clarified the process for receiving members from other denominations. The changes in the vows in the Discipline also affect the official ritual of the church in Baptismal Covenants I, II, and IV (UMH 33 ff., UMH 39 ff., and UMH 50 ff.).
All these changes go into effect January 1, 2009.
(Note: As of 2004, the vows in Baptismal Covenant III are no longer Disciplinary. The required vows are those in Paragraph 217, as revised by the 2004 and 2008 General Conferences. Baptismal Covenant III does not contain these vows. Baptismal Covenant III should no longer be used in The United Methodist Church. ...

MFP News - Upcoming Meeting
To all churches who are participating in the Mobile Food Pantry program in the EC District, thanks for all the hard work in an effort to help those in need. God will bless you richly for your effort!
You may have heard that we have been awarded a $30,000 grant from the Duke Endowment. This money will be used to help pay your expenses for the distributions, as much as 75%. Hopefully this will allow us to expand to 2 distributions per month in each county. I have had discussions with Liz at the food bank and we are developing a plan concerning the distribution of the funds. Please keep me in the loop concerning your activities with the MFP. I didn't know that Kitty Hawk and Manns Harbor were participating and it's my fault for not keeping the lines of communication open and expressing our expectations to you. Please forgive me. The food bank is working on a new info form to be filled out at the distributions. The form may only add a requirement for zip codes to allow us to track participation. We will address all these issues at a meeting planned for Jan. 29th. The meeting will be at Food Bank of the Albemarle in EC at 12 noon and lunch will be provided. If you can not make it, please send a representative from your MFP team. Also, please notify me if someone is coming from your MFP.
God Bless, Greg Barrick
MFP Coordinator EC District
