From Pastor Candy…

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for the celebrations and affirmations you offered regarding the Denman Evangelism Award. You made such a glorious fuss! I give thanks for the opportunity to be in ministry with you, and I’m forever grateful that you allow me to try new things so that we can share God’s love in new ways. 

Much love,   
Pastor Candy 

We are thrilled to announce that Pastor Candy LaBar of Wesley Church has received the Harry Denman Evangelism Award from the Eastern PA Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church on March 29th. This award recognizes her dedication to spreading the message of faith, making disciples, and bringing others into life-altering relationships with Jesus Christ.

As her congregation can attest, Pastor Candy is continuously an inspiration to others to use their talents to serve the community- and we have been transformed by her leadership.

Thank you, Pastor Candy, and congratulations on your much-deserved recognition.

Donations for Bethlehem Emergency Sheltering

By

Each year, as we gather for our Maundy Thursday service and recall Jesus’ humble act of washing his disciples’ feet, we sponsor a donation drive to bless feet in a practical way. It’s our way of “reimagining footwashing” as we seek to be “people blessing people!” This year, we will collect specific requested items — including high-quality socks, foot powder, blister cushions, and shower shoes — to support the work of Bethlehem Emergency Sheltering. Visit our Wish List to view the list of requested items. Please bring all donations to the church by Maundy Thursday, April 17. For more information, please contact Pastor Candy.
