Addie’s Baptism
August 4, 2024
We have rescheduled Addie’s baptism multiple times, which is not uncommon in the world today for infant and toddler baptisms. The goal is to have all the important people in the child's life present, and that's a task in itself. As a person present in Addie’s life, I feel blessed to have been able also to acknowledge how beautifully made she is.
Jennifer's Reaffirmation
February 18, 2024
Jennifer has seen multiple pastors come and go here at Fleming Island UMC but felt God lay it on her heart recently to reaffirm her baptism, make a public profession of faith, and make us officially her church home by joining.
Willis Family
December 17, 2023
I met the WIllis Family for the first time at our Back to School celebration. Jessica is a teacher and her husband Winston is in IT. I've enjoyed getting to know them this fall as they've attended worship, their kids have been part of kid's events, and they have found their place within our community.
Ava
November 26, 2023
I am not sure what is more exciting than welcoming a new child into the church family. It's a sign of life, regeneration of the church, but also our commitment to the future generations. Sunday, we got to make a commitment as a church to the Coppage family, as Eddie and Val stood with their children, raised in our church, and now their granddaughter, who is being raised in our church.
Baptism and Joining of Osband & Seeley's
October 22, 2023
The following Sunday, October 22, we welcomed the entire family into our church. But one person was missing. I feel so blessed to know this group. They love deeply, have a wonderful sense of humor, and give their hearts to what's important to them. Be sure to introduce yourself if you still need to.
Owens Family
September 17, 2023
I am excited to officially welcome the Owens family as part of our church family! Wendy reached out to me in May after visiting our church. Shortly after, I sat down for coffee with Wendy and her mom, Sandy. Eric, Sandy's husband (Wendy's dad), loves to spend time with his grandson. Wendy's son is an amazing young man and very smart.
Julius and Shannon
August 20, 2023
If you run into Julius and Shannon, you'll notice that they are both quiet, kind, and love to jump in and help with things. I met them when they first started to attend the church, but they made an impression on me. Read about it in the full article.
Asbell Family
June 25, 2023
The Asbell family has become three faces that light up everyone's hearts when we see them. If you haven't met Steve, Jennifer, and their son, you need to. Like many families, after COVID, they wanted a church that felt more like a family than a large institution. Read the entire article below.
Robinsons & Moore
June 18, 2023
If you remember, on 06/04, we received the Anderson family into membership. Today, we received the rest of their family as part of Fleming Island as well.
Andersen Family
June 4, 2023
This week, we welcome this wonderful couple, Andy and Courtney, with open arms. They are transferring their membership from another United Methodist congregation. Along with them comes their three kids.
Amanda
April 3, 2023
Amanda, her mom, Chris and I headed to the Mayport beach to mark what God's been doing in her life. Her baptism is one of many firsts for me. Read the article for more about Amanda and her story.
Christy and Woody
February 5, 2023
Sometimes you must try a church for weeks or even months before you feel like you can decide if it's your "forever spiritual home." Other times, you walk in and know right away. That's what happened to Christy and Woody.
Michael, Howard, and Nichole
October 2, 2022
Howard and Nicole Rieger started worshipping with us on Easter 2021. Michael Palmisano, our worship minister, started working with us during the fall of 2020. We are so excited to officially welcome all three into the church family, even though we've considered them family for quite some time. If you have questions about membership or baptism, don't hesitate to reach out for a conversation.
Cathy and Katie
September 4, 2022
September 4th, we welcomed Cathy Perry and Katie Strickland into membership. It was a joy to receive them both into membership as they renewed their belief in Christ. They are officially committed to living out their faith through our congregation with their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. They've both been doing this for quite some time.
