While we've been enjoying a mild winter thus far, this Sunday (Feb. 5th) there is a chance of winter weather. 
 In the event of winter weather (ice, freezing rain,
or snow), there will be no intercessory prayer time or small group time.
 The church will be open and for those able to safely travel, we will meet in the Commons Room at 10 a.m. for prayer and conversation and will also gather via ZOOM (connection information is below).  An announcement will be posted on Facebook and we ask those who are connected to social media to reach out to those who aren't. Everyone's safety is paramount.  And financial gifts can be made through mail, EFT or text.  Thanks everyone.​

Update to Mask Mandate:
Effective March 1st
SAUMC will become
"mask optional" effective
March 1st.  The mask and hand sanitizing stations will remain in place. As a significant portion of our members have vulnerable health factors, mutual respect will be offered for individual choices. Everyone is asked to continue to take needed precautions if they have any symptoms or concerns regarding COVID exposures for the sake of others. Ultimately, we continue to remember Wesley's rules to do no harm, and to do good. Questions or concerns, reach out to our trustees or staff. ​- Pastor Sherri Barnes
​                  Thanks for your continued care.

Praying for Those Affected by Hurricane Ian
As Hurricane Ian approaches, we are praying for the FL Conference and those in the path that will be affected. You can engage in the missions of UMCOR as we prepare for this hurricane to hit!
Be sure to prepare in case it impacts your area. With the widespread nature of these storm systems, we need to be prepared to respond rapidly and efficiently. The best information regarding storm impact can be obtained by your local news stations and the National Hurricane Center. Familiarize yourself with the resources below regarding Hurricane Preparedness provided by the WNCC Disaster Ministries.

A Note About Who We Are:
 The direction we believe God has given us is to grow into being a multi-cultural congregation. A one-mile radius around our building includes 4% Asian, 19% African-American, 42% White, and 32% Hispanic or Latino neighbors. We best represent God's Kingdom and God's love when we are together.  This is substantive work. We're getting better at approximating God's goal, but we're not there yet. We need to learn from people like you. We believe in the vision that Jesus gave us when he fed the 5,000, a vision in which we'll all be fed and healed at Jesus' feet together. We hope that we can partner with you in this work.
