Donations for Emergency Food Bags
In recent months, we have experienced an increase in the number of individuals coming to our church in need of food. While we also support the work of the New Bethany food pantry, we want to keep a supply of emergency food bags on hand to help meet this need. If you would like to support this effort, please bring any of the items listed below (or pack and drop off an entire bag!). Each emergency food bag will include:
- Cans of tuna or chicken (2 cans per bag)
- Peanut butter
- Jelly
- Canned fruit
- Microwaveable mac and cheese
- Box of cereal
- Canned pasta (2 cans per bag)
- Canned soup (2 cans per bag)
To donate individual items or complete emergency food bags, please bring your items to church and place them in the collection area in the atrium. For more information, please contact Debbie Ace.
Holiday Craft Fair
Join us for Wesley’s annual Holiday Craft Fair! The fair will take place on Sunday December 1, 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, in Fellowship Hall. Shop from local crafters and find that special holiday gift! Lunch will also be available for purchase, and all food purchases will benefit the Backpack program. For more information, or to sign up as a crafter, please contact Debbie Ace.
New Landscaping
from Doug Janzti, Vice Chair of Trustees
The trustees started to notice a few years ago that the landscaping in front of the church was beginning to look overgrown and tired, particularly the two blue spruce. So, we had a landscaper draw up a plan and give us a price… but it was low on our budget priority list. Then we received a donation specifically for improving the way the church looks from the road (including landscaping!). The donation wasn’t enough to cover the cost, but it was a good start. Then another donation came in, bringing the total to 90% of what was needed, and we decided to move ahead.
Work has already begun. Walk out and take a look! But there’s still the remaining 10% of the cost. Are you interested in making a contribution to this project, or a memorial to someone with a particular boulder, tree, or shrub? Contact us! Our October Power of One will also benefit this project.
Thank you for your support!
