Giving to FUM

"I have found that contributing to FUM through their automatic monthly giving program has been simple and convenient. FUM receives the gifts regularly and every month when I open my credit card statement I am reminded of the work that FUM is doing and the people that make it all possible." —Will Taber, Arlington, Massachusetts

NEW! Ministry of the Month*

January 2011
Quaker Life magazine

Please support Quaker Life magazine this month with your daily prayers:

  1. Praise God for the renewed interest in the magazine from readers, and renewed support from the FUM General Board.
  2. Praise God for volunteer editors and for talented writers and photographers who graciously give their time and talents to the magazine.
  3. Pray for Quaker Life advertisers, that they would find the magazine to be valuable and that advertising would increase, bringing more income to support the cost of producing Quaker Life.
  4. Pray for an increase in readership and subscriptions to Quaker Life, ensuring the magazine’s continued growth as it reaches Friends around the world.
  5. Pray that Friends would be informed through Quaker Life, and thereby strengthen the community of Friends in the world.
  6. Pray that Friends would be equipped through Quaker Life, and thereby strengthen the ministry of Friends in the world.
  7. Pray for the Quaker Life staff—Katie, Kim, and Shari (pictured above, left to right). Pray that they would have clear vision, energy, and strength to carry out this ministry.

*Each month through December 2012, we will focus on a different ministry of Friends United Meeting. This "Ministry of the Month" corresponds with the FUM wall calendar that is available for $15 from the Friends United Press Shopping Center.

Weekly Devotional and Prayer

A meditation: “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness….” —Isaiah 35:8

“I walked after the plough, I was filled with the love and presence of the living God, which did ravish my heart when I felt it, for it did increase and abound in me like a living stream, so did the life and love of God run through me like precious ointment giving a pleasant smell, which mad me to stand still.”— Marmaduke Stevenson, 1659

“Upon the 9th day of the Eleventh Month, the word of the Lord came to me that I should go to New England, there to be a witness for Him. So I was made willing to offer up my life and all, in obedience to the Lord; for his word was as a fire, and a hammer in me….”—Henry Fell, 1656
