"I'm startled or taken aback when people walk up to me and tell me they are Christians. My first response is the question, 'Already?' It seems to me a lifelong endeavor to try to live the life of a Christian." – Maya Angelou

The new UCM worship team will come together for music at "Common Ground" on Monday, Jan. 28.

Scott will be preaching/teaching...

It starts at 7 p.m.

Here's a blurb:

Karl Barth, one of the great theologians of the 20th century, said, "To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world."

Come and be a part of our protest against the disorder of the world as we seek to know Christ, to make a difference in the world, and find our common ground.

This is the main gathering of students at UCM. It's worship, but it's more than what we typically mean when we say worship.

It's going to be designed to equip us, to challenge us, to confront us. There will be times it will all seem very familiar, and there will be times when we will be uncomfortable.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is something that UCM should probably celebrate.

We will be having UCM Sundays at the following churches during the next few weeks. Please join us as we worship together and say thanks to these churches for their support of UCM.

Jan. 13 - UCM Sunday at Stratford United Methodist Church
Jan. 20 - UCM Sunday at Konawa United Methodist Church
Jan. 27 - UCM Sunday at Fitzhugh United Methodist Church
Feb 9-10 - H2Ochurch.tv
Feb 17 - St. Luke's Episcopal
Feb. 23-24 - St. Joseph Catholic

UCM will be offering a mid-week service at noon on Wednesdays.

This contemplative worship experience will begin at 12:15 and is designed to last about 30 minutes or less.

It will include scriptures, brief reflection on the scripture, silence, prayers, and the Eucharist (Lord's Supper/Holy Communion).

There will also be soup, bread, and drinks available after the service.

Everyone is welcome.

I have created a new personal blog. You can now find me at revragamuffin.blogspot.com

For those who are interested in matters relating to campus ministry on college and university campuses, I have created a new blog at cminfo.blogspot.com

This blog will remain up indefinitely.

Thanks for taking this ride with me. There's always more room for more travelers. Hang on....

Students show interest in 'meaning'

A college has created a meditation space for the college community, but then caters to the Muslim students. Story here.

I will begin a new blog this weekend with information for campus ministries. More info to come. Woohoo.
