  • March 27 at First UMC – “For Christ’s Sake Turn the World Upside Down!” This social action day will focus on caring for creation.

  • Let’s Start a UMW Unit – United Methodist Women is an organization within our denomination that promotes social justice, spiritual growth and fellowship opportunities for women involved in the church. It has developed many resources and events to connect us with each other and the world. I’m interested in creating a library at church as part of our unit activities.

    Interviewing the Tokis

    During the last sermon series, ‘War and Peace’, Pastor Amanda lead us in exploring various aspects of war, especially the theory of Just War. To help get a different perspective on war’s effects, we interviewed the Toki family. Akira is a Madison native of Japanese descent who fought in WWII. His wive, Mary, was imprisoned in an Japanese American internment camp during the war. Needless to say, we were all very interested in what this unique couple had to say about war.

    This is their ‘life sharing’ video that was shown on Jan 23.
