I am shocked and angered and deeply saddened by the horrific shootings yesterday morning.  As each hour passes, my heart grows heavier for the victims and their families.  And with each news update there is a growing urgency to heal a world that would allow for such evil.  There will be a time for advocacy and justice.  It must come.  Now is the time for compassion and support and prayer. 

Our chapel will be open to all for prayer throughout this week. Please pray for those broken of body, recovering from their wounds, that they may be restored.  Pray for those who are broken of heart.  May God’s mercy overflow in the lives of those who have lost sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, partners and friends in this senseless tragedy.  Pray for those who are protectors and healers – for the doctors and nurses, the EMT’s and the police officers, the city officials and the spiritual leaders who are involved in helping us through this brokenness. Pray that they would not grow weary or faint of heart.  And pray for the LGBT community.  May they experience the grace of God so tangibly that they cannot mistake it.  And may they be buoyed by the love of God’s people and the support of the greater community of Orlando.  

-Rev. David Miller

Join us as we walk in remembrance of the victims of the tragic shooting at Pulse night club in downtown Orlando. View the event here. Although we are not hosting this, we are certainly supporting and attending.

Marcy Chapel is open for prayer all week from 7:00am – 9:00pm.

We will be having a Blood Drive on Sunday, June 26, 8:30am-1:30pm

You can save lives by donating blood. The bus will be located on Morse Blvd. right outside the Matthias Family Life Center Gym. For your convenience, sign up for an appointment in the courtyard on Sunday, June 19, or online at oneblooddonor.org. Donations are especially needed after the tragic events this past weekend at Pulse in downtown Orlando. 

The sun is shining, weather is pleasantly cool and I am anxiously waiting to take part in today’s worship service. Our Pastor Miller will be delivering the sermon this morning and we will be taking communion as well. Lunch will be taken at the church and then in the afternoon, all three pastors (Scott Smith from Ormond Beach and Roy Terry from Naples along with David) will conduct a session of pastor training with a group of local Methodist ministers. This will be a busy day for the pastors, but for me it will be a chance to soak up a memorable worship experience.

Tomorrow starts the busy schedule we have in front of us as we will meet with the staff of Panua, and then meet with as many of the Panua Youth Groups as time will allow. This will give us a chance to see how they are progressing in the program. I’m especially excited to meet with the Karigita group as I had the opportunity to be there when that group was being taken into Panua and heard their individual stories. For those of you back in Winter Park who were there that day, you will remember how difficult that day was to witness the need in that community. From all the reports we get from the staff here as they monitor the progress, I am hopeful that this will be a much different experience. As we are 7 hours ahead of you, I hope that you all will be in prayer for all here as we move through this coming week.
