My favorite John Wesley Quote: “I look upon the world as my parish…” – Journal, June 11, 1739
What are you called to create? The increase of the Hispanic population in our area is significant; therefore, I am very motivated with the support being offered by Greater Heights UMC church in Clayton, the pastor, Matthew Evans, and the UMC Conference in North Carolina, in the formation of a new Hispanic Methodist faith community in Clayton. We intend to form a group that follows Wesleyan principles; based on biblical scriptures, with the knowledge of our tradition of faith; learning to use our reasoning according to the moment in which we have to live without losing our roots, with an updated message and full of vitality. In addition to seeking and motivating others to engage in personal devotion to foster a live experience in each one of us, our main tool will be the study of the Bible. We will us the Bible to engage in the practice of personal prayer, join in fellowship, interact with the community, and worship God in all ways possible, with our heart, mind and soul.
