The United Methodist Church began as a movement dedicated to “scriptural holiness,” to live a life dedicated to loving God and loving our neighbor. Our faith is not simply what we believe in our own hearts and minds, but it is something that moves us to get involved with people; try to change broken systems; and we get our hands dirty, working to make the world better. In this series, we’re going to look at 3 different ways we can live our faith in the world. Today, Melanie is going to share how her faith was transformed this past year, when she went to a training called EarthKeepers. Melanie is our Director of Communications & Connections here at BUMC. She’s been working with our church community for over 15 years, and in that time, she’s grown in a multitude of ways. She has a passion for God’s creation and creating a welcoming environment for all. Today’s she leaping out of her comfort zone and bringing God’s message for us. So let us pray for God to speak through her.
