In a short time, people worldwide and news stations alike will be turning their eyes to Charlotte, NC, as the United Methodists gather for the first time in 5 years to handle the general business of the church. More than 800 men and women from around the globe have been elected and are now preparing to represent their Annual Conferences by working with their delegations.

The Florida Annual Conference has asked us to shift into a spirit of prayer as we lead into General Conference. I am so blessed by this approach taken by our local leadership. Rev. Dr. Nelson Cowan provides us with a weekly prayer focus that goes along with his book, Worship Any Time Any Place.

Online worship is here and on our Facebook page and Youtube Channel. Worship is open to all, regardless of race, background, or orientation.

We believe communion is the best example of Christ for inclusion and love. We offer it every Sunday in worship, so we never forget that we are forgiven. All are welcome with no requirements.

Our children start with their families in worship, then head out halfway to the children's church. Children are always welcome in worship! On the first Sunday, the older kids stay with their parents for all the service.
