New Ministry Opportunity: Driving is Surviving
In Escambia County, four of five workers who work outside their homes drive alone. Thus, a safe, reliable car or truck is essential to keeping a job and maintaining financial stability—especially since half of this group makes less than $38,000 per year. We’re forming a team to start a new FUMC Pensacola ministry to help people understand, maintain, and repair their cars, and perhaps even provide cars to persons in extreme need. If you want to join us, please contact Michael King at [email protected] or at 251-689-1040.

We will also have an "adopt-an-item" board available in the Church-Office.. Monetary donations are always welcome. Contact Lisa Bond for more information.

If you don’t already have a daily devotion, the scriptures below are designed to expand the range of biblical reading in worship and personal devotion. You can find them in the bulletin each week. The Daily Readings are taken from “The Daily Office Lectionary” in The Book of Common Prayer. Read the Bible each week. It will be a blessing.

Tuesday - Psalm 97 and 99; Ezek. 7:10-15, 23b-27; Heb. 6:13-20; Luke 10:1-17
Wednesday - Psalm 101, 109:1-4 (5-19) 20-30; Ezek. 11:14-25; Heb. 7:1-17; Luke 10:17-24
Thursday - Psalm 105:1-22; Ezek. 18:1-4, 19-32; Heb. 7:18-28; Luke 10:25-37
