Dear Perdido Bay UMC Family,

      Almost one week following our area being impacted by Hurricane Sally, we as a church and a community are continuing to assess the scope of damage and the recovery needs of our neighbors. Information will be coming soon on how we as Perdido Bay UMC can begin mobilizing teams from our church and teams from out of town that are offering to come and assist our area in the days, weeks, and months ahead. I am proud of the many ways our church members have already risen to the occasion and been a blessing to many through assisting others in their neighborhoods and around town in their clean-up efforts. 

       I was blessed by our time of worship on Sunday and I pray that you were as well whether you worshiped online or on-campus. We will be resuming our Wednesday night programming for all ages next Wednesday, September 30. Also, this Sunday, September 27, we will be returning to two worship services in the Activities Center and online, 9:00 AM Contemporary and 11:00 AM Traditional. You will find the sign-up link again. If you need assistance signing up, please reply to this email or call the church office. Children’s Worship and nursery will also be available this Sunday, September 27. The Reading Romans Podcast will resume on Monday, September 28. 

       At times, our recovery efforts may feel like a sprint and other times like an endurance event. Through it all, may we seek to embody the love and peace of Christ in our efforts. We will heal and we will come through this as a church family. Thank you for being the heart of the community and for continuing to respond with resolve and joy to the needs of your own household and the needs of your neighbor. 

In Christ,

Pastor Levi
