Reconciling Ministries Network, along with Methodist Federation for Social Action and Armation,

invite you to join the energy building for our combined mission trip to Tampa, Florida in April of 2012 for

the next international legislative session of our church, General Conference. This is a once-every-four-year

opportunity to alter our rules of life as United Methodists.

At Sing A New Song, RMN, MFSA, and Armation launched Love Your Neighbor, a grassroots and legislative

organizing campaign to develop relationships with delegates to General Conference via one-on-one phonecalls and meetings, including RMNs rst ever international strategy with Central Conference delegates. We mobilized every Sing A New Song

participant and made over 650 phone calls to General Conference delegates in less than 10 minutes (pictured right)! It was incredibly exciting!

Together we will build relationships with our elected delegates, oer resources for justice decisions for our denomination, and provide support fo

a vibrant United Methodist future.
