Methodism gave the church the class meeting, the circuit rider, and the Sunday school, and gave America the conviction that grace is genuinely for everyone — carried into prisons, mines, and mill towns by preachers who owned almost nothing. Charles Wesley's hymns are still sung in nearly every tradition, most of them by people who have no idea whose they are.

The community around El Mesias UMC
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly half describe their own health as fair or poor, and nearly half of the people here live below the poverty line. That is 2,200 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
