The Youth Choir of the Saint Paul United Methodist Church of Largo, Florida will be leading a worship experience 7 p.m. Sunday, June 8 on the grounds next to Weaverville United Methodist Church. The event is in conjunction with Weaverville UMC’s Vacation Bible School Kick-Off Sunday.

The theme of this worship experience is “Lord, Reign In Me” and makes the statement that with so many things in this world competing for our attention, it is most important that we let God take first place in our lives. The group is made up of students ages 6th through 12th grade. They will be sharing not only through song, but through the spoken word and dance. The group is on a seven-state, 2,000 mile tour that will cover seven days. All are invited to come and experience the presence of God, the love of Christ, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Salem United Methodist Church invites everyone to join them for a time of worship through song at 11 a.m. Sunday, May 25. The Prodigal Son’s Quartet will be the featured singers. There’s not much of a bio available for them (actually, there’s not one at all), but I’m told the church had to book them a year in advance, so I suspect they’re pretty good. Salem United Methodist Church is located at 9 Salem Church Road.

(If anyone has seen the Prodigal Son’s Quartet perform or knows more about them, let me know and I’ll pass that info along.)

Vacation Bible School will be held at North Point Baptist Church June 16-20.

Christ United Methodist Church invites you to come to the church for a time of prayer and healing every Saturday night during Lent (now thru March 22) from 7:30-8:30 p.m.

As you enter the Sanctuary, you will have an opportunity to sit in the presence of God and pray. During this time, you may pray for yourself and/or a loved one. If you desire for a prayer minister to pray with you, someone will be available for prayer.

When we carry our burdens of physical, emotional and spiritual hurts to our Lord, we will find ourselves open to receive God’s love and healing. As we pray, we will encounter Jesus, the Great Physician and Healer, and we will find greater health and wellness in our lives.
