We are open for regular scheduled services this Sunday, Oct. 13. 

No childcare available – Wesley Center is without power.

If you are going through the difficulties of storm recovery, here is a complete and current status of our congregational response:

A FEMA Disaster Recovery Center is open daily now thru October 22 from 7am-7pm at Barksdale Senior Center (1801 N Lincoln Ave) to assist with applications.

The “I Need/I Can Help” List

If you or someone you know in this congregation needs help with recovering from the storm, add that need to our growing database by clicking here. And if you are willing and able to help in some way, click here to offer your skills and availability. We will work to match up needs with skills. For more information, contact Heidi Aspinwall, our Director of Missions.

Cleaning/Flood Buckets

We have received a large shipment of fifty Cleaning/Flood Buckets from the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), which anyone can pick up, for themselves or someone in need. They are available in the entrance to the lobby of the Chapel on the Hyde Park Campus.

Charging and Cooling Stations

We will have free charging stations available in the Chapel during regular business hours.

Letters of Love

A simple and powerful way to help that does not require extensive physical labor is to write a note of prayerful support to someone in need. Stop by the Chapel Lobby on the Hyde Park Campus, where we have blank cards on which you can write a personal note. We will distribute them to people who need them. All supplies are provided, or you can bring your own.

Financial Donations

To make a financial contribution, go to our website to give to the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) which is the disaster response agency of our denomination. 100% of your gifts go directly to help people in need in disasters like this one.

Pastoral Support

Your pastoral team is available to offer you spiritual and prayerful encouragement and support. Please contact pastoral administrative assistant Kim Harcrow to connect with Magrey, Sally, Justin, or Bernie.

Efforts from the Florida Annual Conference

We will keep you informed on wider, coordinated efforts throughout our denominational connection in Florida over the weeks and months to come.
