Begin Now – Pray for Revival

Today, I and several other pastors gathered and prayed together for our Community Revival to be experienced this September 11 – 13, 2016. We know we live in times where the wages of sin’s division and bitterness are doing untold harm to our nation and to the generations that so need an awakening of grace and life. Join me in praying for that awakening to occur in Varina.

If there is to be at least one place in America that experiences a season of refreshing and renewal from the Lord, let it be here!

“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.” (Isaiah 55: 6-7)

One Great Hour of Sharing

75thAnniversarylogo-200Sunday, March 6, 2016 is designated as the One Great Hour of Sharing Sunday. This is when we receive an offering to cover the administrative costs of the United Methodist Committee on Relief. We are asked to give generously as this offering provides the means for 100% of subsequent gifts to go towards disaster relief such as assisting those affected by the recent tornadoes in Virginia.

Following this offering on Sunday, we ask you to designate your gifts to Advance Mission Special #5037 to continue offering a faithful response to people in their hour of need. Please read Bishop Young Jin Cho’s letter to us concerning the recent, tragic storms. I knew Mr. Harris (the person killed by the tornado near Appomattox) since Evergreen is on the other end of the charge where I grew up and I know his family and others like them will be blessed and encouraged by your good giving.
