From the North Indiana Conference Web Page (March 2003): The premier issue of Hoosier United Methodists Together is off the press and in the mail.  This new venture in publishing reflects the teachings of Christ through stories and pictures, thereby sharing key moments and concerns in the life of his church.

Keeping the theme of spring, resurrection and new life, readers will explore the cover-story question "Betraying the garden?" with writer Lynda Ward.  Harold Leininger takes a faith look at Indiana's senior U.S. Senator Richard Lugar. Deb Perry tells us the amazing story of Hoosier United Methodist Pastor Tim Bolton and his "Arise & Walk!" ministry. UM youth Rick Roll gives his testimony to personal ministry in "You Could Be Someone's Jesus."

Other articles for your reading include the subjects of $50 miracles, good grief and a growing café and music ministry in a mall. Riley Case tells us that UM attendance is growing in Indiana. Alison Smith shares here experience in "Taking A Year Off for God," and Bill Schwein gives a lighter touch to Lent. On a more serious note, read what it takes to be an Army Chaplain and how to talk to your children about war. 

That's a lot to get into 30 pages. Hopefully, readers will share these stories and their copy of Together with family members, friends, fellow church members and neighbors. If you don't receive a copy of Together, you can subscribe today for $12 one year or $20 for two years. United Methodists Together, Indiana Area, 1100 West 42nd Street, Indianapolis, IN 46208.
