WUMC Book Club
Please join the Wesley Book Club on July 20th, 2026 at 9:30am to discuss The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay: A Novel by Michael Chabon. A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the Century, A “towering, swash-buckling thrill of a book” (Newsweek), hailed as Chabon’s “magnum opus” (The New York Review of Books), The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a triumph of originality, imagination, and storytelling, an exuberant, irresistible novel that begins in New York City in 1939. A young escape artist and budding magician named Joe Kavalier arrives on the doorstep of his cousin, Sammy Clay. While the long shadow of Hitler falls across Europe, America is happily in thrall to the Golden Age of comic books, and in a distant corner of Brooklyn, Sammy is looking for a way to cash in on the craze. He finds the ideal partner in the aloof, artistically gifted Joe, and together they embark on an adventure that takes them deep into the heart of Manhattan, and the heart of old-fashioned American ambition. From the shared fears, dreams, and desires of two teenage boys, they spin comic books (From CWMars summary).
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!
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.
