Under the leadership of the Reverend Dr. Jonathan L. Weaver, Pastor of Greater Mt. Nebo African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, members of the ministerial staff joined together to relieve some of the “pain at the pump.” After seven ministerial staff members delivered the “7 Last Words” of Jesus Christ on Good Friday, members of the ministerial staff joined together to provide prayers and gas gift cards at three local gas stations in the Bowie, Maryland community.
To help ease the financial stress of filling up their gas tanks, hundreds of people received a spiritual fill-up as clergy prayed for and ministered to their needs. In addition to receiving a gas gift card and praying, invitations were extended to join us for Resurrection Sunday worship service, virtually or in person. A mother with teenage children recently moved to the area and was looking for a church and other ways to connect her teenagers in enriching activities in the community. The Reverend Tomika McFadden, who serves as Youth and Young Adult Minister, shared precise ways Greater Mt. Nebo A.M.E. Church can support this mother and her family. Several gift card recipients joined Greater Mt. Nebo in worship to celebrate the Risen Savior!
