We need more churches where making a Christian commitment is not simply a graduation from a confirmation class, but it’s a lifelong commitment reinforced by weekly worship, daily prayer, daily Bible study, extravagant generosity and ministry with the poor. #UMC

Pastor Leo Tyler arrived at Bear Creek United Methodist Church only weeks before Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, and for the past year, COVID19. Through it all, the leader has stayed focused on his mission – to build diversity in the congregation.

When Rev. David Briggs was first appointed to Abundant Life UMC in the summer of 2014, the church stood alone on 10 acres of land. Today, Abundant Life’s campus now houses a clinic, and the congregation is putting the finishing touches on a preschool.

A year has passed since COVID-19 shut down schools and moved classrooms online. The TAC, already committed to education with the We Love All God’s Children Initiative, is stepping up this summer and next year to help in new ways.

From Bishop Jones:
For the last year, we've needed hope like never before. We've struggled with a pandemic, increased deaths, & disease, racial injustice, economic disruption, political turmoil, an attack on our capital, & isolation from others.

“We have been vaccinated!” Enjoy this video from TAC Bishop Scott J. Jones and Mary Lou Reece on receiving their #CovidVaccine!

The onset of the #pandemic may have caused most outreach efforts to grind to a halt – but not at the Windsor Village Church Family in Houston. Instead, the church saw an opportunity to help even more people at a time when the need was greatest.

The pandemic is not over - continued masking, social distancing, & hand washing are going to be important for several more months. Share this video. This is not a political decision, but one based on science which guides of love of God and neighbor. Grace & Peace, Scott J. Jones

A special message from Bishop Jones to the Texas Annual Conference: Friends, decisions about worship protocols belong to local church leadership. But I urge all United Methodists, if they attend worship in person, to mask up for the love of Christ and others.
