WUMC Book Club

Please join the Wesley Book Club on May 18th, 2026 at 9:30am to discuss Briefly Perfectly Human by Alua Arthur. “Briefly Perfectly Human is a beautiful, raw, light-bringing experience. Alua’s voice is shimmering, singular, and pulses with humor, vulnerability, insight, and refreshing candor…. Be prepared for it to grab you, hold you tight, and raise the roof on the power of human connection.” — Tembi Locke, author of From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home.

Contact Gerry Harvey for the Zoom link. The Wesley Book Club reads a wide range of titles and meets monthly to discuss what we have read. Join us for one meeting or come regularly. If you have a favorite book, share it with us!


WUMC Kids Spring Events


Craig’s Doors

We continue to collect supplies for the local homeless population, and as the seasons change, so do the needs. The team at the Resource Center has shared they are most in need of: sunscreen, medicated lip balm and lip balm with sunscreen (i.e. Blistex or Carmex), lightly worn adult shoes (durable quality), adult socks, adult underwear (mens large/XL most needed sizes), umbrellas, and travel size hygiene products. Donations can be placed in the bin in the church entrance. Thank you!


Not Bread Alone

Each Saturday, Wesley volunteers help at CHD’s Not Bread Alone, Amherst’s soup kitchen. Our tasks are to pick up donated food from Whole Foods (some weeks), make fruit salad, make sandwiches (some weeks), and sort and display donated produce. It is a short time commitment (typically 9–10:30am), but our consistent help is always greatly appreciated. You can volunteer as little or often as you would like. If interested, please email Ruth Harms to be added to the monthly emails with the volunteer sign up.


Healing Prayer Group

Healing Prayer continues to be offered by the Healing Prayer Ministry. We meet each Thursday, but we pray all week long. If you have a prayer request of any kind at all, please contact Nancy or Richmond with your request and we will pray with you and for you. We promise you a 100% confidentiality and full respect and to be sensitive to your circumstances.
