Coronado Community United Methodist Church is a community whose
mission is “Serving God, Sharing Love.” When people join our church, they
promise to support the church through their prayers, their presence, their
gifts, and their service. As we become Christ’s hands, feet, and voice in a
suffering world, we find ourselves Traveling on the Wings of Grace,
offering healing and hope to God’s children at home and abroad.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said,
“Here I am; send me!” Isaiah 6:8
Whether its working on homes damaged by hurricanes in desolate Honduras
or in rural North Carolina; singing and reading Bible stories with teenagers
in rural Mexico; delivering Meals on Wheels to Edgewater shut-ins;
extracting a painful tooth in Guyana; or mentoring an at-risk teenager from
New Smyrna Beach High School, CCUMC “missionaries” find themselves
carried by those wings of grace in many locations....near and far.
For I was hungry and you fed me; I was thirsty and you gave me water; I was a stranger and you
invited me into your homes; naked and you clothed me; sick and in prison and you visited me.
Matthew 25:35-36
Without fail, each time a missioner goes out to serve – whether near our
homes or in a faraway country – each person comes home with a renewed
faith, feeling as though they received much more than they could possibly
have given. We try to serve God and share love, and it comes back to us
many times over.
God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing
on to others God’s many kinds of blessings. I Peter 4:9-10
"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the
places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you
can." - JOHN WESLEY
