Rio Texas Methodist Federation for Social Action

Barbara Wendland is a long-time MFSA supporter from Temple, Texas, who publishes a monthly newsletter entitled Connections.  Barbara describes herself as “a lay United Methodist and neither a church employee nor a clergyman’s wife. Connections is a one-person ministry that I do on my own initiative, speaking only for myself.”  Many of her stories and observations ring very true with those of us involved in social action.  Connections is her effort to stimulate fresh thought and new insight about topics she feels Christians need to consider and churches need to address

We had the opportunity to see Barbara this weekend at University UMC – Austin, and it was great to hear her stories.  To receive her monthly newsletter, contact her at BCWendland@aol.com, or go to her website, www.connectionsonline.org.

Thanks to Barbara for her continuing witness!
