Bonneville’s Back to School Bash was a success! Thank you to all who donated toward school supplies, and those who showed up to serve! We had around 500 students and families attend the event and we were able to supply resources for approximately 300 kids at Bonneville Elementary. 📚✏️

University Carillon’s C127 Ministry recognized for answering community care with compassion

Love of neighbor moves toward the lost, last and least, starting with seeing the Image of God in them.“Through Hope Florida’s CarePortal, churches are meeting needs in real time,” said First Lady Casey DeSantis. “Hope Florida assists Floridians in need find help in their community.”

The Hope Florida CarePortal alerts participating churches to immediate needs in their communities and churches compete to fill these needs. Since Hope Florida’s launch, nearly 30,000 Floridians have reduced or are no longer reliant on government assistance.

University Carillon is recognized by the state as a church leader in creative compassion—helping those in need through CarePortal.

Converge 2024 Recap 🎉

110 middle school and high school students with EPIC Youth Orlando devoted a week of their summer to serving the Orlando community and growing deeper in their relationship with Jesus! With the help of 65+ adult volunteers, Converge students served at/prayed over a total of 30 different locations around Orlando!

Every year, Converge gives us a picture of what can happen when the church comes together as the hands and feet of Jesus. Here are just a few of the places students partnered with last week!
• Clean the World
• Rise Against Hunger
• Second Harvest Food Bank
• Faith UMC
• Unto

Thank you to every single person who joined in on the mission of Converge! It really was a beautiful picture of the church being the church. Here are just a few photos of the groups and what they were up to during the week!

*Check out the Vessel livestream from last Sunday to hear testimonies from students about how they experienced God during the week: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=itrmkcNqPCc

This week, we are linking arms as a church to kick off July with 7 full days — 168 total hours — of unbroken prayer.

And we do mean “the week” — all 7 days, all 168 hours.
And we do mean “we” — this is a family-sized vision.

The Prayer Room is a space that’s been intentionally and creatively redesigned to make it possible for anyone & everyone to spend an hour with God. It isn’t for ‘prayer experts’ (as if those existed!) — it’s for anyone & everyone wanting to meet with God and hear His voice.

Why not book an hour and see what happens?

We have about 10 slots left, most of which are “at home” slots. Though we have limited spots, we still invite you to join us in prayer wherever you are this week! If you are interested in booking one of the remaining slots or finding out more about praying with us at home, visit https://universitycarillon.net/prayerroom/
