Children’s Ministry Update:
Sunday School Teachers Needed!
We would love to welcome you to our team of volunteers for Sunday School! Please reach out to Ms. Deb if you are interested in sharing an hour on Sunday morning with our kiddos (even as a substitute!). No prior training required, just a love for Jesus and a desire to share that love with our kids and youth.
Sunday School classes continue through May 21. Then get ready for a Super Hero Adventure at our Vacation Bible School program in June!
Spring Fling Vendor & Yard Sale
On Saturday March 11 from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM, stop by the Wesley Fellowship Hall for the Spring Fling! This event includes a variety of vendor tables as well as yard sale items. At 1:00 PM, there will be an egg hunt for children ages 1-13 (no registration required). We’ll also be collecting Easter basket items (baskets, candy, grass, fillers, small toys, stuffed animals) and Easter dinner items (canned vegetables, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and gravy) for local families. For more information, please contact Debbie Ace.
Learn to “Plarn”
Plarn is plastic upcycled yarn made from plastic shopping bags. Members of Wesley’s Plarning Team use this plarn to create lightweight waterproof sleeping mats for individuals in our community who may sleep outdoors and be exposed to the elements. If you’d like to learn how to make plarn or weave sleeping mats, bring a pair of scissors or a large crochet hook (preferably size S) and join us in the atrium after worship this Sunday, February 19.
