Purpose-full

Even when we’re not in the 18th month of a pandemic, it’s easy to use all the “gas in our tanks” without stopping to fill up. When that happens, our actions or non-actions usually don’t reflect our true image as children of God and follower of Jesus. This walk through the book of James as well as the three “simple rules” of Methodism’s founder, John Wesley, will remind us who we are and what we are called do, not by our own strength, but by faith in Christ who lives in us. Fill ‘er up, please!

Our purpose statement is, “We exist in the heart of downtown Gainesville to share Christ’s love with open hearts, open minds and open doors.” Pastor Beth starts the sermon series during the weekend when we remember the 20th anniversary of the horrific events of September 11th and reminds us that we are called and committed to being bearers of more love in our community and our world that needs it so much.
