MOVIE- WILD AFRICA

Come with us on a spectacular ride across, over, and through the magical realms of the most dramatic continent on earth: Africa. Our guide through this enchanted kingdom is the sorcerer itself – water. Water crafts Wild Africa, conjuring up life wherever it journeys… travelling above the plains on seasonal winds, cascading along raging rivers or sheltering coral cities, and meeting amazing creatures.

Please join us in Wesley Hall Sunday, July 11th between services to welcome our new pastors! Coffee and other refreshments will be served.

Upcoming Meetings

The Outreach Committee would like to sponsor an American Red Cross blood drive here at Wesley UMC, but we need to make sure we have enough people to donate blood before we can commit. We still need at least fifteen more people to sign up before we can set up a date for a blood drive! We support and encourage you to take time to give blood; a simple way to make a difference in someone’s life. Your one time blood donation can help save up to three lives!

Please fill out the form below if you are interested in donating and we will be in touch with you when a date in the near future is set. You may also call the church office @ 647-1015 to sign up.

THE BIG EASY-

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Come S.L.A.P. the Pastors!

Plan to come “S.L.A.P.” the pastors-on the back, across the table, or just for the fun of it! It will be a time to “Share”, “Listen”, “Ask”, and “Pray” as we seek help in leading God’s Kingdom work at Wesley! More information will be coming in July-watch for times and locations.

The Prayer Boxes are located outside the worship area in both buildings. These requests will not go in the GPS; your prayer requests are kept private and discreet. No need to place your name as God already knows who it belongs to. Cards have been placed in the slot on the side of the prayer box for your convenience.
