Jesus said:
“Let me give you a new command: Love one another. 

In the same way I loved you, you love one another.
This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples –

When they see the love you have for each other.”
John 13:34-35 The Message

Celebrate Recovery—A Christ-Centered Recovery Program
GBUMC is currently seeking volunteers interested in helping those who want to exchange their baggage of hurts, habits and hang-ups for God’s plan and purposes. If you would like to be part of the planning team for this new program, please contact Ruth Knights at 932-3594.

Hospital Visitation
Each weekday, a pastor or Stephen Minster visits members and friends of the church who are in the Gulf Breeze and Pensacola Hospitals. Prior to surgery a Pastor will visit and pray with them. Please let the Church Office know when someone is going into the hospital (932 3594).

Prayer Shawl Ministry

You are invited to join a lively group of expert and novice knitters and crocheters as we create prayer shawls and learn more about this innovative ministry.  Completed prayer shawls are given to those who are grieving or have special needs so that as they wrap up in a shawl, the prayers of the ministry will surround the recipient.  This ministry meets at the Fairpoint Campus on the first and on the third Sunday evenings of each month in room 12 at 5:00 p.m.and at the Soundside Campus on Monday evenings from 6:00-7:30 pm in the youth room.  Email Catherine at canuk4@bellsouth.net for additional information.

Homebound and Nursing Home Visitation
Volunteers visit homes and nursing homes to share Christian fellowship with those who are no longer able to get out and worship.

Comfort Meals
The Comfort Meals Ministry touches people who are hurting due to the death of a loved one or other special need by providing a meal for the family.  Coordinated by bev Patrick- 932-7265.

Flower Delivery Ministry
After the worship service each Sunday ,  the altar flowers are carefully arranged in small vases and carried by volunteers to friends who are homebound, in a nursing home or in the hospital. This way the flower arrangements continue to bring a message of God’s love throughout the week. 

Grief Care Ministry
Following the death of a loved one, we reach out to those who are huring, providing support for three to twelve months depending on their need. 

Hospital Aftercare Ministry
Caring volunteers visit those who have been hospitalized offering support and continued care when someone is returning home.  This transitional support means so much to those who might not be quite ready to be on their own following a hospital stay.  Coordinated by Charlotte Warren at 932-3362.

Card and Telecaring Ministry
Through the out-pouring of cards and phone calls those who have been hospitalized or are experiencing other kinds of difficulties in their lives feel that they are not alone.
