Weekly Update // Pastor John

Dear Friends,

On Thursday, I’ll be traveling to England with pastors from across the country as part of the Emerging Clergy Cohort with Rev. Adam Hamilton and Church of the Resurrection. We’ll visit historic Methodist sites and explore how the Wesleyan movement continues to inspire ministry today.

One of the things I love most about our United Methodist Church is that we are part of a global connection. The ministry we share here at Asbury United Methodist Church in Maitland is linked to the work of thousands of other congregations in Florida and around the world.

Emily and I are committed to serving Asbury faithfully, while also serving as part of this wider connection. This trip is a way to learn, grow, and bring back fresh ideas that will strengthen our ministry together. I am grateful to our Staff Parish Team for supporting this time away and will be sharing more about this trip in the coming weeks and months. 

We truly get to be part of something bigger than ourselves and that’s worth celebrating!

Shalom,

Pastor John
