The e-Bulletin of the Evangelical Renewal Fellowship in New England

Evangelical Renewal Fellowship is the New England Association of the Confessing Movement within the United Methodist Church

 

The e-Bulletin is a monthly electronic publication reporting on news, events, and actions impacting evangelical renewal within the New England Annual Conference.

February 2010

News:

Evangelism apart from discipleship frustrates God's plan. For His plan is to bring men and women into the local church, where they can be equipped for works of service. See "The Great Commission: Let's Not Leave it to the Experts".

 

At the beginning of the 21st century, the evangelical church is once again asking what it means to live out biblical justice. Social justice is so poorly understood. See "Social Justice: Defining the Issue".

 

If you have not heard about "The Manhattan Declaration, A Call of Christian Conscience, visit www.manhattandeclaration.org to join in reaffirming the fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them.

 

 

Upcoming Events:

The annual meeting of the Evangelical Renewal Fellowship (ERF) will be held on Saturday, March 27, 2010. Liza Kittle from the Renew women's network in Atlanta will be our presenter. She will help us understand how we can have more effective women's ministries in our churches, tell us what some of the successful model's are around the country and give us a report on the UMW. For details and application, see the ERF Board Meeting 2010 flyer.

 

Action:

The Church Ministries section of The Mission Society serves the local church in helping it fulfill the Great Commission locally, nationally and internationally and subsequently partners with the church to jointly facilitate the mobilization of other churches. Using New Testament church principles, they show you how to ignite your congregation for effective outreach. Learn how to mobilize your church.
