JONATHAN
Good morning! I’m Jonathan Crabtree, Pastor for Student Ministry at Central United Methodist Church in downtown Meridian. We read of many miracles in the Gospels, but one that always sticks out to me is when Jesus feeds thousands of people with some bread and fish. How did this happen? Did Jesus magically make more fish and bread as the disciples gave out the food? Or, did Jesus’ act of faith encourage the multitude to give what they had, though not much, to the efforts and thus feeding everyone?
What could our collaborative acts of faith do for Lauderdale County, Meridian, Mississippi, the United States, the world? Don't think that just because you only have a certain amount of your time, gifts, and resources that you couldn’t transform the world. Guess what? That’s exactly what transforms the world: Everyone giving what they have; everyone working together; everyone on the same mission. If you are not involved in a congregation anywhere, we encourage you to join us some time at Central. We’re a congregation, along with many other congregations in Meridian that is seeking to join God in ministry to all the world.
