Gathering the harvest
OUTREACH AND SERVICE
Blessings are meant to be shared whether they're material or spiritual. Outreach and service are high priorities in the
Florida Conference. More than $1.7 million is spent annually to assist local churches in outreach and evangelism.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. —Galatians 5:22-23
