Welcome Brookside!

Today we welcomed Brookside Congregational Church. They came from Manchester, NH and we welcomed them with Miami's beautiful winter weather- Sunny  High of 75  Low of 60! 
May this week be filled with God's presence and may God's love radiate like the warmth of the sun.

Last weekend for Mahalia

Mahalia has been playing at the M Ensemble theatre company in North Miami. Not only is the M Ensemble company amazing and the longest running African American theatre, but the production is fantastic. Christina Alexander, known to some to sing with us at the Lighthouse, has the lead. But the rest of the cast is equally amazing. Catch it if you can.  Maybe enough people are interested they'll hold it over for another weekend.

Not just a Superbowl weekend

It was an exciting time in Miami this weekend. Gorgeous weather coupled with the many tourists and fans of the Superbowl teams weren't the only excitement in town. Also the new class of Brethren Volunteer Corps participants were in town as a part of the orientation to their year of service. Seventeen participants and leaders enjoyed the sun, food, sands and people of Miami. We pray blessings on them and may the year of service in all of their respective locations open up their hearts and minds to God's call in their lives.

January Weekend of Service

January 20-23 was a great weekend of mission, service and learning in Miami. We were joined by Garber United Methodist of New Bern, NC and our 'old' friends from Trinity United Methodist of Sarasota, FL. Even though the two groups had very different service assignments, they were of one accord in their hearts and minds. One team spent time with people of Miami who are homeless.  The other team spent their time and skill in helping a new church merger renovate their kitchen. Both teams shared stories, asked questions, made friends and worshiped God in all they said and did.  We're thankful for their service and look forward to a great Spring break season.
