Residing Hope Fith Sunday Offering

On Sunday, August 30, our 5th Sunday Offering will support Residing Hope.
Residing Hope serves children, young adults, and families through Christ-centered care, including residential, foster, independent living, and counseling services. Please prayerfully consider giving above your regular offering to help bring hope, healing, and Christ’s love to those in need.
Safe Families for Children

Our church is exploring a partnership with Safe Families for Children, a faith-inspired ministry that helps keep children safe and supports parents during difficult seasons. Safe Families is not foster care or adoption. Instead, families voluntarily receive support through temporary hosting, meals, transportation, donations, encouragement, mentoring, and prayer.
Galatians 6:2 reminds us to “bear one another’s burdens,” and this ministry offers a practical way for churches to come alongside families in our own community.

To learn more, Chaires Methodist Church has reserved a table at the Safe Families Friend-raiser on Thursday, August 27, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Tallahassee.
You are invited to join Pastor Kerry and other members of our church for an evening of learning about Safe Families, hearing stories of how the ministry is making a difference and discovering ways we might serve.
If you would like to attend, please sign up at the back table of the sanctuary to reserve your place at our church table. Please continue to pray about how God may be calling us to surround families with hope, encouragement, and the love of Christ.

July and August Sermon Series

Beginning in July and continuing through August, we will begin a new sermon series called The Questions Jesus Asked.
Jesus was a master teacher, and one of the ways He taught was by asking questions. His questions opened hearts, challenged assumptions, and invited people to see God, themselves, and others more clearly.
Throughout this eight-week series, we will look at some of the powerful questions Jesus asked and what those questions still ask of us today. These are not just questions from long ago. They are living questions that can shape our faith, our church, and our daily walk with Christ.
Join us this July and August at Chaires Methodist Church as we listen for the voice of Jesus in the questions He asks.
