Call to Prayer & Self Denial

Has your unit made plans to celebrate Call to Prayer and Self Denial this year? This special observance is usually held the first few months of each new year. The theme for 2012 is “A Time for Change: Technology". 

The Call to Prayer and Self-Denial offering in 2012 will enable national mission institutions and international institutions to help the marginalized and the poor, the physically challenged and others, especially women children and youth, who don’t have access to information technology that will improve their quality of life. Projects such as computer literacy, information technology training, English as a second language classes, and career enhancement and job-seeking skills will be supported.

The Quiet Day service for the Call to Prayer and Self Denial is in our 2011/2012 United Methodist Women Program Book. 

Prayer from the 2012 Call to Prayer & Self Denial Prayer Card:  (United Methodist Women members may make copies of this prayer for use in their units)

Dear Loving Creator, we thank you for the benefits that you have given us through the gift of technology. Through it we have been able to worship you in new ways, learn new things and connect to those near and far. We recognize, Lord, that some who would benefit from this gift currently do not. Merciful God, help us create avenues of entry to technology for those who are our sisters and brothers. In your son Jesus the Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
