Youth workers have new site
LAKELAND — Youth workers throughout the
Florida Conference have a new resource for spiritual and resource
support in their ministries. The new United Methodist Youth Workers
site, http://www.umyouthworkers.org,
was designed to facilitate youth ministries by providing daily
devotionals, resource information and a communication network for
church staff and volunteers working with youth. It also includes a
calendar of events related to youth ministry and a job listing.
The site was developed under the leadership of
the Florida Conference Council on Ministries’ Youth Ministry office.
VOAD holds first expo in Brevard
MELBOURNE — More than 200 people attended the
first Brevard County Community Disaster Showcase June 8, according to
the Rev. David Harris, pastor of Mims United Methodist Church and
president of Brevard VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in
Disaster). The event was an opportunity for people to learn about
potential disasters and the various community groups that respond.
“We had an incredible array of speakers,
quality displays, a fabulous facility, but not enough people,”
Harris said. “A major rainstorm did not help.”
The featured speakers included officers from
state and federal disaster relief agencies, including the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
