FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE UNITED METHODIST RELATED
The church responds to the special needs of all persons. Our conference is
active through this task force raising awareness on behalf of persons who are
mentally and physically challenged. Through local church programs such as
Access Sunday and Golden Cross Sunday, these concerns are brought to
the local church. Recent opportunities have moved the conference to sponsor and
promote the opening of Wesley Group Homes, such as the one which opened in June,
1998, in the Ft. Lauderdale/ Hollywood area.
