South Indiana Conference News Briefs
Nominations open in South Indiana Conference for Denman Award
The Denman Evangelism Award was established in 1980 by The Foundation for Evangelism to honor pastors and laity doing responsible evangelism in the local church. In 1980, it was a national award. After nominations had been received from individuals in all five jurisdictions, the Executive Committee of The Foundation for Evangelism selected one clergy and one lay person who were honored to begin the program. In 1981, the Denman Awards were introduced to annual conferences so they could have the opportunity of honoring one clergy and one lay person annually.
This is a time of inspiration which reminds all attending the conference of the church's purpose for existence - "to make disciples of Jesus Christ."
The Denman Evangelism Award is given to a pastor or lay person who is effective in making disciples of Jesus Christ. This can involve speaking, personal witnessing, inspiring the church to be involved in evangelism. The ones honored should be individuals whose life style brings honor to Christ and the Church.
Nominations for the Denman award will be reviewed by the Rev. Paula Young Mayberry and the Committee of CG&E. Forms for both laity and clergy area available from the South Indiana Conference Center by logging on to www.sicumc.org/ministries_and_mission.htm. The nomination forms need to be completed and returned to: Misty Boswell, South Indiana Conference Center, 1520 S. Liberty Dr., Bloomington, IN 47403 no later than April 13 or by e-mail at mboswell@sicumc.org.
South Indiana Scholarships for Undergraduate study available
The South Indiana Conference Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry is anxious to get the word out to high school seniors and undergraduate college students about its intention to award small ($250 - $1000) scholarships to students who are members of The United Methodist Church and who will be matriculating at a United Methodist College or University in the Fall, 2007.
These scholarships are made directly to the students and are designed to assist with the many unexpected expenses students encounter when starting a new year in their college or university.
