Join us, rain or shine, for our annual Easter Egg Hunt! The egg hunt will take place on Sunday April 2 (Palm Sunday) at 11:15 AM. All children are welcome!
Donations are needed! Donate candy, stickers, bouncy balls, mini erasers, temporary tattoos, and more. (Please no candy that contains nuts!) Help is also needed to stuff eggs. Email Miss Deb with any questions. Join us to celebrate spring and new life in Christ!
Holy Week Schedule
Please join us for this year’s celebration of Holy Week — the week of religious holidays stretching from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. We invite you to save this schedule and share it with friends, family, and neighbors.
Our church labyrinth will also be open on Maundy Thursday (April 6) from 12:30 PM to 7:30 PM, and on Good Friday (April 7) from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
Sermons from a Brown Bag
It’s almost that time again — time for “Sermons from a Brown Bag!” During the season of Easter, Pastor Candy preaches messages inspired by the ordinary and random items provided by people in the pews — like you! If you would like to submit an item to inspire (or stump!) the pastor, please bring your item (packed in a brown bag) and drop it off in the church office.
Annual Conference Update – Part 3
by Rosemary Molinaro, Lay Delegate
On Saturday May 20, the EPA Annual Conference was coming to a close. Our final day began with praise and worship to celebrate all that had been accomplished together. The agenda was to review and vote on the remainder of the Conference budget and resolutions. However, due to time constraints and the importance of the material, Bishop Schol asked for a vote to return at a later date to finalized the agenda; the vote was carried and we will wait for information on the new date.
The Service of Commissioning and Ordination was held for new Clergy. It was a wonderful way to close the annual conference. I am glad to have had this experience representing Wesley UMC at the Annual Conference and to see how we, the laity and clergy, work together for the good of our church and to the glory of God. Our faith guides our hearts and minds to lead us to be “people blessing people” and together we are a church of “possibilities”.
Thank you for this opportunity. If you would like to watch the conference, you can find it on youtube.com by searching “2023 EPA Annual Conference”.
Spring Cleaning, Part 2 – this Saturday!
We are so grateful for the efforts of those who participated in our spring cleaning efforts at the beginning of April! Our spring cleaning tasks are nearly complete. Want to help us finish the job? Join us this Saturday April 22 beginning at 9:00 AM. We’ll gather branches and dead tree limbs from around the church property and dispose of them in the wood chipper. Many hands are needed to collect branches! For more information, please contact Rich Chambers.
