October 14, 2012 "FIFTY YEARS OF WELCOME"

Greeting
Dear Friends, we have gathered together in this time of worship to give thanks to the Lord our God for one of the great blessings of our lives, this very United Methodist Body of Christ here in Palm Springs. Fifty years ago God’s wondrous and empowering Spirit moved in the hearts of those first individuals who longed to be a congregation of Methodists treading a Wesleyan path toward holiness. They found a way to be a congregation first, finding a temporary home in Temple Isaiah where they were free to worship, pray, dream and make plans for the day when they would have a church home. We celebrate the determination, dedication and devotion of those first dreamers, the sacrifice, love, commitment and hard work of so many who have brought us to this present day, and the visionary leadership of those who will guide us through our next 50 years of ministry.
