Today has brought a renewed sense of our connection, as Christians but especially as Methodists. Worship at Main Street UMC in Waveland this morning was a fantastic experience, partially due to the instant community created in sharing the worship experience across the attendees from many Los Angeles and San Diego churches and the local Waveland congregation. We were so diverse, but also one.
In addition, we found out today that, in addition to our 45 southern Californians here in Waveland, there are also 110 United Methodists working this week in Gulfport, and another 60 in Biloxi, coming from all over the country.
Indeed, we are part of something bigger than us; bigger than our individual churches, districts, and even conferences.

The Hollywood UMC family offered prayers for you all today -- for the teams from LAD and SDD, for the people of Waveland, and for all those affected by Katrina.
We stand with you in the days ahead, knowing that you are Christ's hands and feet building new lives and hope in Mississippi. We are grateful to support you in prayer, and to be your cheering section.
with love and blessings,
Kathy
