News briefs for November 12

November 12, 2008

World Community Day is Friday

Church Women United will celebrate World Community Day 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Friday at the United Methodist Christian Life Center on Perryville Road. The local group will join the celebration being held in local communities across the country as they share thoughts and prayers focused on the theme "God's Wisdom Sets Us Free."

Many local units of CWU have long histories of involvement in prison ministry. The Boyle County unit helps by providing college scholarships for women at the Pewee Valley women's prison.

Taking a look at the "Golden Rule" as exemplified in different religions presents an opportunity to look at commonalities rather than differences, said Martha McConnell, member of the local CWU.

"God's wisdom sets us free whether we are bound by our own human failings or by prison walls," she said. "All of us need to change and grow. This celebration explores how we can reach out with God's wisdom and love to those behind bars, whether made of steel or of human limitations."

Church women of all local churches are invited to join in this worship experience, have a light lunch and participate in fellowship.
