Florida churches respond to attacks on United States
"Florida United Methodists join millions to mourn and
respond. . . "
President George W. Bush declared Sept. 14 a national day of prayer for everyone affected by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and the crashed airplane in Pennsylvania.
In the Florida Conference, United Methodist churches honored that request and did much more during the days following the attacks. They held prayer vigils and healing services for their communities, encouraged people to give blood and offered opportunities to donate, and began raising money for relief efforts. Many services the Sunday after the attacks were revised to focus on providing comfort and hope.

Commission looks at needs, funding
A group of lay and clergy leaders from across the Florida Conference began meeting last month to look at the conference's capital needs and ways the conference can fund those needs.
The team is called the Conference Capital Commission and was approved at the Dare to Share Jesus 2001 Florida Annual Conference Event May 29-June 1 in Lakeland.
At its Aug. 31 meeting the commission drafted a preliminary list of the conference's needs, but it is also asking for input from all conference-related groups. An on-line survey is available at
Conference Capital
Commission Survey for any group that wants to submit its capital needs.
