An Initiative of The Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church
A New Chapter in the Wesleyan Rooted Journey
The Florida Conference is building on the momentum of Wesleyan Rooted with a new yearlong emphasis: Awakened to Grace. Individuals and congregations across the Florida Conference are invited into a new year of spiritual renewal! This initiative focuses on cultivating daily habits of faith, nurturing vibrant worship, and strengthening the bonds that connect us as one body in Christ.
This initiative will help guide churches and individuals into deeper spiritual rhythms rooted in Wesleyan tradition. With new resources, music, devotionals, and more, this next step in the Wesleyan Rooted journey will inspire and equip you for life-giving discipleship. Every resource is created to be flexible, practical, and deeply Wesleyan — so that whether your congregation is large or small, urban or rural, you can adapt Awakened to Grace to your context and discover fresh ways to live and lead with love.

For ClergyTwo ready-to-use worship series provide adaptable preaching, worship, and media tools, all designed to help your congregation live Awakened to Grace in every season!
Begin the new year with a six-week Epiphany journey through everyday practices that open us to God’s transforming presence. Each week includes sermon examples, bulletin graphics, livestream and projection slides, and other worship tools to make planning simple. You’ll also find 30-second social media videos — ready to post on Facebook, Instagram, or your website — to boost engagement and help your congregation carry the message beyond Sunday! The new year materials are available now; the back-to-school resources will be released in Summer 2026. |

For Families & ChildrenThe Awakened to Grace Children’s Resources invite kids and families to explore faith together through wonder, movement, and song. A companion weekly devotional follows the themes of the Epiphany series — Prayer, Scripture, Silence, Fasting, Sabbath, and Service — helping children connect spiritual practices with their everyday lives. Each week includes a short reflection, interactive activity, and a memory verse to reinforce learning at home or in church settings. A joyful new children’s song ties the series together, making the message come alive through music!
