Gleaning Wisdom: A Reflection of My Internship

Armon Flukers


When I stepped into my internship at Palm Coast United Methodist Church, I didn’t just come as a college student looking to complete a requirement. I came as a worship leader, a servant, and someone deeply committed to exploring what it truly means to walk in God’s calling. This internship has offered me a sacred space to integrate everything I’ve learned through school, leadership, and life into real, hands-on ministry.


I’ve always believed that music is one of the most powerful ways we can connect with God and with each other. As a recent graduate of Bethune-Cookman University, where I served as Student Director and Tenor Section Leader of the Concert Chorale, I’ve spent years cultivating my gifts in leadership, music, and spiritual mentorship. But I also knew that if I was going to pursue ministry seriously, I needed to step beyond the classroom and the stage and into the heart of the church. These are the spaces where people live, worship, struggle, and grow together. That’s what drew me into this internship: the chance to grow, to serve, and to discern what full-time ministry might look like for me.


This internship has affirmed something I already sensed: that God uses every piece of who we are- our gifts, our experiences, and even our struggles- to shape us for the work ahead. I’ve learned how to lead with both structure and flexibility, how to work with people across generations, and how to keep the heart of worship at the center of everything.



This experience has stretched me in ways I couldn't have imagined. Leading worship through music every week has been more than a task. It’s been a joy and a responsibility. I’ve worked alongside the pastoral team in planning services and special events, and I’ve learned how worship leadership is so much more than just choosing songs; it’s about setting the spiritual tone for a community, creating moments where people can truly encounter the presence of God.


What surprised me most was how deeply this work would impact me. I didn’t expect to feel so spiritually challenged or so affirmed at the same time. I’ve had moments of deep reflection- some even uncomfortable about what it means to lead with integrity, to serve without recognition, and to trust God in seasons of uncertainty. I also didn’t expect to find so many transferable skills from my work with the Chorale to this setting. From organizing rehearsals to navigating team dynamics, I’ve realized that God had already been preparing me for ministry long before I called it that. As I look to the future, I do so with a clearer sense of calling. This internship has helped me see that ministry

We remember and give thanks for the life of William "Bill" Day, who passed away on June 24, 2025. Bill was a pioneering minority businessman in Chicago, blazing trails with determination and grace before relocating to Palm Coast, Florida in 1997.

He is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Shirley, as well as his seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, who carry on his legacy of strength, perseverance, and love.

We celebrate a life well-lived and a spirit that will continue to inspire all who knew him

Church Grief Group Sessions


Loss is an inevitable part of life, yet its impact often feels anything but natural. The void it creates, the longing it stirs, and the questions it raises can leave individuals feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. During such times, finding a supportive environment where one can process emotions and confront the complexities of grief becomes essential.


The start-up of Church Grief Workshops begins on Wednesday, July 16th, at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. Bill Sparks in the Beachside Meeting Room at the church.



Please call the church office to register for attendance, 386-445-1600
