WASHINGTON, D.C. – Twenty people from the Baltimore-Washington Area of Reconciling United Methodists (BWARM) accepted the 2009 Cup of Justice Award on the final night of the Reconciling Ministries Network’s ninth biennial convocation held Sept. 4-7 in Estes Park, Colo.
FREDERICK - On an August evening in Bakers Park in Frederick, Pastor Rex Bowens Sr. and at least 50 members of Jackson Chapel UMC in Bartonsville hosted its fourth “Back to School Rally.”

The church gave away hundreds of book bags full of school supplies to students, grades pre-K through 12. Any student who registered received a bag, stuffed the night before by more than 30 volunteers.

“As the children leave the park with book bags on their backs, inscribed with the church’s name and logo, we are all reminded that the church’s greatest work is done outside the walls,” said Sonja Brown-Jenkins.
