This is from the General Board of Discipleship and they are asking for your help.
UM youth and young adults are encouraged to participate in an online survey to help collect information for the denomination’s State of the Church project. The Connectional Table of the UMC sponsors the project. The survey can be found at UMC Survey . Only take it once.
Survey-takers judge how important prayer, worship with others, financial giving, Bible study, and working for social justice is to their religious life. They also are presented with a list of issues facing the world today and asked how important it is for the church to focus on each issue. Other questions focus on how the church operates as a connectional system, its organizational structure, and the effectiveness of pastors.
Respondents are asked to offer opinions about what the church needs to do to attract young people as members, to voice agreement or disagreement with the official denominational policy on homosexuality, to list their primary reason for becoming members of the UMC, and to express how hopeful they are for the future of the local church and the denomination as a whole.

United Methodist Youth Challenged to Stir It Up!
In 2006, United Methodist youth groups raised almost $765,000 for charities throughout the country and around the world through Souper Bowl of Caring.
Over 2,300 Methodist groups have already registered to participate in the 2007 Souper Bowl of Caring set for February 4. “We’re asking United Methodist youth to ‘Stir it Up’ and raise $1.4 million for charity through the Souper Bowl of Caring 2007,†said Jay Clark, Young People’s Ministry, United Methodist Church. “To meet the goal, we need 4,400 United Methodist churches to register and participate.â€Â The Souper Bowl of Caring has set a nationwide goal of $8 million for 2007. To be counted in the national totals each group must register their participation at www.souperbowl.org.
“Souper Bowl of Caring is something any youth group can do,†said Clark. “Souper Bowl of Caring provides that unique missional opportunity for your youth group to choose exactly where each dollar goes. 100% of the money raised can stay in your community or you can send it elsewhere- the important thing is that you are providing resources to those in need. You are serving a call to help extinguish the injustice of hunger,” added Clark.
Asking for only $1 on one day, America’s teens are transforming Super Bowl weekend into the nation’s largest youth-led day of giving. Standing at church doors with soup pots, young people in all 50 states receive donations. Almost $5 million was generated in Souper Bowl of Caring 2006 bringing the total to $33 million since the effort began 16 years ago.
Churches can register to participate at www.souperbowl.org. Each registrant receives a free resource kit with all the materials needed to plan and promote their event. Groups are asked to report collection totals to the Souper Bowl of Caring following the event so the nationwide impact of youth helping hungry neighbors can be announced and celebrated.
For those of you who attended last year’s Fusion Conference in Orlando; here is information on the next conference. Different name, but still a great event!
RightNow Ministries will be hosting a 3-day national event in Orlando next February, 2007, for all 20 and 30 somethings and those who lead 20 and 30 somethings. We are working with the David Crowder Band, Donald Miller, Dan Kimball, Margaret Feinberg, Voddie Baucham and Todd Phillips (as well as other influential speakers/authors) to challenge our generation to put their faith into action. To borrow from John Piper, our desire is that this generation might not “waste their lives.â€
If you want further information have a look at the brochure: LeadNow 07 or click here for the web page.
