Save the Date
Christmas Caroling - Sunday, December 8
Annual Church Conference - Sunday, December 15
Not Bread Alone - December 28
Christmas Caroling Daily Disciplines for 2020 Monthly Movie & Discussion Annual Church Conference Wesley’s Hospitality Team needs some helpers. They are looking for 2 or 3 people to volunteer each week to donate an item for the fellowship snack table. Homemade items are always appreciated, but not necessary. Examples of items include: cheese & crackers, hummus and chips; fruit and/or vegetable bites; cookies, brownies or other baked goods. The Hospitality Team also needs some folks to volunteer to help in the kitchen one or two Sundays each month, but if you cannot do that, simply donating food items would be a great help. Please see Celeste Lawler or Deb Henson for more information and/or to sign up for an upcoming Sunday.
Wesley Book Group
The Wesley Book Club will next meet on December 16th to discuss Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys. Future selections are as follows: Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris for January 20th; and The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See for the February 17th meeting.
The book club typically meets at the church from 7-8:30 on the third Monday of the month.
Everyone is welcome to come and discuss the book.
Remember, the Christian life is not intended to be lived alone. We were formed by God to be in connection: with God and with one another. Wesley’s small groups ministry is a way to get there. Just follow the link for a listing of current offerings. Please join us!
Any questions, please ask Julie Chalfant. Wesley's Spiritual Journey Group meets at the church every Thursday. We begin with spiritual sharing and prayer from 1:00 - 1:30 pm. The book study follows from 1:30 - 2:30 pm. Please contact Jane Sicks by email with any questions.
New members are always welcome!
Monthly Healing Time after Worship
We invite you to partake of the healing graces of our loving God, either after service on the first Sunday of every month or during our Thursday evening prayer time. We also would invite you to join our healing group if you are able to make the commitment and are willing to learn the principles of faith healing. Please feel free to contact Cathy Bennett or Nancy Nash with any questions.
Safe Parking Reminder
Please remember that in an emergency, seconds really do count and there are times that, no matter how good the sprinkler system is, those systems could fail. All parking at Wesley needs to be in marked spots in our parking lot. Parking is only allowed in handicap spaces with the appropriate placard. Recently we have had an increase of cars parking in non-marked spots during events. This does not allow police, fire, and EMS vehicles to access the church appropriately in the event of an emergency. Several of the Hadley FD vehicles plus some of the ambulances from Amherst FD cannot make the turn into the lane next to the church’s entrance when cars are parked illegally. Please keep everyone’s safety in mind when parking here at Wesley.
