As long as this Grotto stands, Key West will not sustain any major damage from a hurricane.
December 12 - Key West Had the Only English Wesleyan Methodist Church in the United States.
The congregation was originally known as the Gulf of Mexico Mission with Cayo Hueso.
The local history informs us that it was Reverend George Lister, who established the mission in Key West. It was seen as vital to extending the English Wesleyan Methodism to Cuba. While missionaries were sent to Cuba, the overall effort did not produce the hoped for results. Because Catholicism was firmly entrenched in Cuba, and Methodism, was unable to gain many converts.
The congregation in Key West remained as the Mission but for a short time, until it became known as Trinity Wesleyan Methodist Church. This was the only English Wesleyan Methodist Church in the United States.
While Methodist societies existed in America as early as 1760, by the late 1800s had become very much its own entity having an independent connection since 1784. Despite the early presence of Methodism in America, the Key West congregation has never held in association with the American Methodist Church.
British Methodist, were not without their factions. In the earlier years, various branches of Methodism sent numerous missionaries out around the world and the English Wesleyan Methodist were no exception. The Bahamas district of the British Connecxion had been established for the area that later included most of the Caribbean. It was through this line that the Key West church had its humble beginnings.
The present Mance was built in 1912, primarily from a cargo of Dade County pine that was salvaged from a ship that had wrecked on the reef. While this was long past the days of the islands famous ship wrecking days, wrecks still occurred. Some research regarding the shipwreck suggests that it may have been a vessel that was found derelict between the Tennessee reef and Coffin Patch and floating upside down in the fall of 1906. The derelict vessels name was not recorded in the Admiralty court records. The vessel's cargo was lumber.
There was not enough wood to complete the entire house, so other material was used randomly in order to prevent a large single location of termite-susceptible wood, according to the builder's son, Alfred Milton Evans, two of the ships masts were salvaged to find new use as columns on the house. One of the masts became the right front porch column in the corner opposite tower. It's unknown, however, which column is the other former ships mast. The Manse was originally roofed with wooden shingles. The present tin shingle roof was installed entirely by the late AM Evans when he was in his 40s, shortly before he became blind. The house contained a total of 10 rooms. The Manse when built, was designed to withstand sustained hurricane winds of 125 miles an hour, with gusts of 150 miles an hour. Under the clapboard siding, the Manse has a layer of diagonal Board of Dade County pine, each board is fully one inch thick, and roughly 14 inches wide. Water from the Manse came from the church roof as well as well by the back porch. The first church building extended out over the cistern covering about two thirds of it based on the dimensions the cistern and holds about 20,000 gallons of water. It's not really known what your the system was constructed.
The church first built in 1901, seated 500 people and had a small pipe organ. This building was destroyed in the 1909 hurricane, the building's remains were salvaged and a new facility built, only to be destroyed by another hurricane a year later. The current building on this location was built in 1924, and it was designed to withstand sustained hurricane winds of 150 to 175 miles an hour.
In the 1940's, tired of the difficulty in getting ministers from England, the congregation voted to become Presbyterian. A large group that did not favor that change split off and went around the corner to build their own church, retaining the original name - Trinity Wesleyan Methodist Church. Two congregations with common routes were divided by only a name.
And it was today December 12, 1893, that the Reverend George Lester founded the Trinity Wesleyan Methodist Church in Key West. The ministers from the church came from the Bahamas, but during the Depression this stopped. It was on May 12, 1931, that the church officially changed its denomination to Presbyterian.
And that's what happened today in Key West history.

STORYLINE:
Hurricane Wilma was headed toward Florida on Sunday and expected to increase in intensity.
Thousands of residents had already left the area after being ordered to evacuate.
The southern half of Florida's peninsula was under a hurricane warning on Sunday in anticipation of Wilma, a Category 2 storm with 160 kilometres per hour (100 miles per hour) sustained wind.
Although still far from the state, Wilma's outer bands of rain had already caused street flooding in South Florida.
Tropical storm-force winds were expected to begin lashing the state late on Sunday and meteorologists said the heart of the storm was expected to roar across the state on Monday.
Streets of the resort island of Key West in the gulf of Mexico, were virtually deserted as most people heeded the warnings and have left the area.
At the St. Mary of the Sea church on the island, nearly 100 faithful gathered for Sunday morning mass.
St. Mary of the Sea church is associated with the Lourdes Grotto, where for over 80 years the faithful have come to pray for relief from disasters, personal tragedy and spiritual fulfilment.
On Sunday, the grotto witnessed several prayers for deliverance from the impending hurricane.
Tropical storm-force winds of at least 63 kilometres per hour (39 miles per hour) were expected in the Keys and the southwestern part of the state by Sunday evening, and in Miami and other Atlantic coast cities around midnight.
The centre of Wilma should make landfall on Florida's southwest coast as a Category 1 or 2 hurricane around sunrise on Monday, forecasters said.

Kingdom Club FAU - Interfaith Night Fall 2018
This evening we held our biannual Interfaith Night at Florida Atlantic University's Harriet L. Wilke's Honors College.

These two men helped walk us through the Jewish and Christian faiths. We had a local priest from the Catholic faith scheduled who was unable to attend due to unforeseen events. Our next Interfaith Night will be held in the Spring semester 2019.
The Haunted Saint Paul's Graveyard - Key West, Florida
Read the story here:
Hey guys, this is the Saint Paul’s graveyard in Key West, Florida, considered one of the most haunted places on the island. I am Praveen Mohan and on the other side of the fence is the Saint Paul’s church. This is the very first cemetery in Key West, and it was much larger at that time. There was no fence and the original cemetery covered the parking lot extending up to the nearby houses. Now right beneath, just a few feet below is coral rock, you can’t go too far down.
So if there is not enough depth in the ground, how did they bury them? They would put one body down, and stack the rest of the bodies on top of each other from there and just bury them. Back then, they didn’t know Cement dissolves in sea water, so they were using cement in the graveyard.
Until early 1900s everything went smooth, but in 1928 a massive hurricane called Okeechobee rolls through and the storm surge is over 6 feet at that point. When water recedes, people come out and realized that all these graves had dissolved. The graves were gone, but everything inside those graves was still here. Bodies scattered all over the ground, some wedged up in the trees. Imagine living here and finding your past lost and loved ones wedged up into a tree.
If that’s not horrifying, they also found bones from a much earlier time strewn all over the place. They realized this was a graveyard long before the Europeans ever set foot on this island. The first inhabitants were the Calusa and Seminole tribes who had bloody battles all over this place. The original name of Key West was CayoHueso, which roughly translates into “bone island”. The entire island was once covered in Bones which is confirmed by the very first European Captain Juan Ponce de León who showed up here in 1514.
I don’t have to tell you they stopped using cement, but things changed after that incidence. What used to be a quiet cemetery was no longer that way, especially at night. Locals don’t walk around here in the dark. Quite a few Tourists have seen strange apparitions and dark figures sneak up on them when walking around here. Of course, most of them can’t tell if they are real because they are usually very drunk. People have seen a group of children standing around this angel statue , and if you smoke a cigarette near this cemetery, the children will get upset. To understand why, you need to understand what happened in Club Chameleon.
