OUR UM HOUSE; OUR NATION; OUR GLOBE; OUR UNIVERSE: PAST & FUTURE!

     Universal concerns: eliminating malaria in Africa, why does the Earth exist(?), what does it mean spiritually to be a global citizen (?) AND  remembering the past 125 years of the United Methodist House; these were the topics of discussion our residents wrestled with the first week of the '13 Season.

Here's Ann Marie; where's Duane?
          The week in review:
A prayer...

A song....

A Victorian moment.....

A pastoral discussion.....

A party on the porch.....

An artist is born.....

And a tea with the ladies from Jamestown.

     The past and the present merged this week and the future of the United Methodist House looks promising!
