This sermon was preached by the Reverend Clair Carter who serves as the Director of Family Empowerment at Trinity UMC’s Faith Mission campus. She runs Circles Gainesville, a ministry devoted to moving families out of poverty permanently. She is on loan from the Louisiana Annual conference where she is ordained in full connection as a deacon. Service and community engagement are two of her passions and she is committed to a simple life of service through the grace of Jesus, and she will always choose to make time to be curious about this amazing world.
