In the words of Abbot Chapman (Catholic Priest):

God does all while we wait and wonder.
Consequently give yourself to prayer, when you can, and trust in God that he will lead you, without your choosing your path. Wait for pressure from him. Do not act unless you must. Let him take the initiative.

Worship Location for This Sunday

Good morning, everyone,
I wanted to let you know that we’ll be gathering at McDavid UMC (2 Main St, McDavid, FL) tomorrow morning for their 9:00 a.m. Easter service.

I hope you’ll be able to join us for this special time of worship together.

We’ll return to Beardless Brewhouse next Sunday for our regular 11:00 a.m. service.
I apologize for the change this week and appreciate your understanding.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Take care, and God bless,
Pastor Hugo Garnie

Good morning, Everyone,
I wanted to let you know that I was informed this morning that Beardless Brewhouse will not be open this Sunday for Easter. I’ll look today for another location, but I don’t expect to find one.
That said, I’d like to offer an invitation for all of us to attend McDavid UMC’s 9:00 a.m. Easter service. It would be a wonderful opportunity for both of our churches to worship together on this special day. Please let me know what you think

Youth Breakfast and Devotion:
Our next Youth Breakfast will be on Tuesday, April 23rd at 7:45 a.m.
Also, congratulations to the Pace High School weightlifting team for winning the state championship last week! A special shout-out to Jake, who is part of our breakfast group—he placed 3rd in his weight class. Way to go, Jake!

• Walt and Kathy – for Kathy’s recuperation
• Jenelle Shores – for Jenelle’s recuperation
