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 packages of new socks (in children and youth sizes) to be distributed through our summer backpack program. Please bring all donations to the church for our Maundy Thursday (March 28) worship service. (We will also collect any remaining socks through Easter Sunday.) For more information, please contact Pastor Candy.
Easter Flowers
Remember to place your order for Easter flowers! If you are interested in purchasing sanctuary flowers for Easter Sunday, please complete our online form. After Easter Sunday, you can either donate your plant(s) or take them home with you. If you donate your plant(s), the Congregational Care Team will deliver those plants to our shut-ins and others struggling during this holiday season. Either way, the Easter flower(s) that you purchase will help brighten our sanctuary through Easter!
The price per plant is $10. Please make check for flowers payable to Wesley Church and write “Easter flowers” on the memo line. As in other years, you may also make a donation to UMCOR (The United Methodist Committee on Relief). Please make check for UMCOR donations payable to Wesley Church and write “UMCOR” on the memo line.
Flower orders are due no later than Palm Sunday, March 24. For more information, please contact Susan Matacavage.
