Sam Parkes to preach on ‘Day 1’

Senior pastor of Mary Esther United Methodist Church in Mary Esther, Fla.

The Rev. Dr. Sam Parkes is the featured preacher Sept. 5 on “Day 1” with host Peter Wallace, the nationally broadcast ecumenical radio program also accessible as a podcast and online at Day1.org.

Parkes is senior pastor of Mary Esther United Methodist Church in Mary Esther, Fla.  Before coming to Mary Esther, he served at United Methodist churches in Alabama.

“When You Are Hungry Enough, You Will Cross a Line,” Parkes’ sermon for Sept. 5, is based on Mark 7:24-30, the story of Jesus’ response to the Syrophoenician woman who seeks healing for her demon-possessed daughter.  “I ask you, which character here seems to be standing in for God’s designs and desires? Well, it has to be Jesus, right?” he says. “Having said this, though, to my thinking she is the one whose hunger for her child merges with God’s hunger for all God’s children.”

A graduate of Sewanee: The University of the South with a degree in voice performance, Parkes earned his M.Div. from Emory University’s Candler School of Theology in Atlanta and a Th. D. from Emmanuel College in the University of Toronto. He is the developer of a small-group coaching model for pastors called Partners in Preaching. He is currently director of worship for the Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference of the UMC.

The programs include interviews with Parkes conducted by Wallace, who is also executive producer.

“Day 1” has been broadcast every week for 76 years, formerly as “The Protestant Hour.” Featuring outstanding preachers from the mainline denominations, “Day 1” is currently distributed to more than 200 radio stations across America and overseas. The “Day1 Weekly Program” is available through podcast apps. The program is produced by the Alliance for Christian Media, based in Atlanta, Ga.

Medicaid Re-enrollment

If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you. 

    • Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage. 
    • During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone. 
    • Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage. 
    • Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location 
    • For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
