Back to the Beginning: Hagar and the God Who Sees
“So she named the Lord who spoke to her, “You are El-roi”; for she said, “Have I
really seen God and remained alive after seeing him?” Genesis 16:13
Hagar, the pregnant Egyptian slave girl of Sarai, has been mistreated
and has run away in desperation. Alone in the wilderness, she
encounters an angel and receives direction and hope for herself and her
unborn child, Ishmael! In her darkest hour, she meets and names God
“El-roi” —the God who sees! Let’s remember Hagar, a strong mother in
faith, who reminds us that God sees us in our troubles and acts for
justice!
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Janet

Calling All Salty Servants
Thank you to those who continue to turn in their
salty servant cards! These help our monthly vital
statistic counts with the UMC.
A Salty Servant ministers to someone outside their
church family for at least one hour per week. If you
have done that this week, please take a salty servant
card from the back of the pew and place it in the
offering plate, so we can include you in our count.
Ideas for salty servants include visiting in nursing
homes or hospice, baking someone a cake, mowing
a neighbor’s lawn, sending out cards of
encouragement, helping a friend move, bringing
someone dinner, handing out a
manna bag…anything you do to
love and serve others in the name of
Jesus!
Annual Conference Update
Bishop Carter shared this brief list of some things
that took place during this Annual
Conference of the Florida United Methodist
Churches:
The election of our 2020 General and Jurisdictional
Conference Delegations – led by Alex Shanks and
Molly McEntire.
The Ordination, Commissioning and Licensing of
52 persons.
Over $37,000 given to the Bishop’s Offering in
order to start a new church within the Lowell
Correctional Institute and the revitalization of
FAMU Wesley student ministry.
We now have 301 Fresh Expressions in Florida and
we chartered a new church (Good Samaritan UMC in
Tallahassee).
Over the last year, 14 new churches became
involved in ZOE and over 1,000 children have
entered the program. A new challenge grant of
$42,000 will hopefully double the number of
children supported by ZOE.
Apportionment giving increased last year and we
reduced our 2020 Budget to return more resources to
the local church.
We enthusiastically approved a new ministry plan
for Latino/Latina ministries.
We engaged in dialogue about our church’s social
teaching and public witness and approved funding
for seminary scholarships for the next five years.
Would you like to help the church raise funds just
by doing your regular shopping? Check out the
UMC Market at www.umcmarket.org and join now
for FREE.
July is DOUBLE Donation Month! The entire month
of July the church will earn double donations from
select retailers, as a way to turbo boost our fundrais-
ing efforts. Thank you to those of you who use
UMC Market!
