John Hires

John H. Hires, JR. is Pastor Emeritus of Anona.  He served as senior pastor here from 1979 to 1986.  He then went on to serve Englewood UMC, as District Superintended of West Palm Beach, and Senior Pastor of First UMC of Coral Gables.  In 1995 upon Retirement from the Florida Annual Conference, he was invited back by Dr. Stephenson to be one our pastoral care ministers.  Each Lord’s Day he is privileged to give the Pastoral Prayer, two books of those prayers have been  made available in printed editions.  He also is in charge of hospital and nursing home visitation and works with the care of shut-in members and friends.

Background: John is a graduate of the University of Florida (where he played varsity tennis) and of Candler School of Theology at Emory University.  He and his wife Mary Lou of 55 years do not plan to move again, having been able to buy their parsonage from Anona.  Glory!
