Our church Finance Team is proud to offer a series of learning opportunities this summer, designed especially for seniors and their loved ones. Our first session will take place on Sunday June 19 at 11:15 AM, and will focus on a variety of financial questions. How can you avoid savvy financial scames? What do you need to know about basic financial estate planning? When is the best time to add an adult child to your bank account? We’ll focus on these and other financial matters during this session. Refreshments will be provided, so please RSVP by June 12 to reserve your spot. RSVP by emailing Pastor Candy or contacting the church office (610-865-5715).
Garden Ministry – Plots are still available!
Get your hands in the dirt for our good cause! There are still a few plots left in our Wesley Community Garden. Throughout the growing season, our plots help to provide fresh produce for local food pantries and soup kitchens. For more information or to reserve your plot, contact Lisa Cook or the church office.
Don’t have a green thumb, but want to help out? Contact the church office to be added to the “watering schedule” and help take care of our seedlings.

Pastor’s Chat
 |
Pastor’s ChatUnited Methodism has been making the news in recent months. Do you have questions about what you’re reading? Are you looking for some clarity on all the acronyms (UMC, GMC, WCA, and more)? Are you seeking insight about our denomination’s future? Join Pastor Candy for a brief informational chat as we wrap up our church potluck on Sunday July 24. Join us in the sanctuary at 12:45 PM to learn more and ask your questions.
Wesley Circle of Friends Fundraiser
At WCOF we strive to give each and every child a quality education in a loving environment while keeping our tuition costs affordable for our families. This week we are launching a new fundraiser to help offset those costs.
For each Wawa coupon that we sell, we raise $1.00 for the many activities and learning experiences we provide here at WCOF. Coupons are $4.00 each, can be redeemed for a Wawa Shorti Hoagie (value $4.79-5.59), and have no expiration date. It’s a win-win fundraiser!
We are hoping that our church family will be excited to help our preschool family to grow by participating in this new fundraiser. Purchase your own, and consider buying extra to sell to friends and family. You can purchase your coupons with cash or check (payable to Wesley Church) on Sunday mornings, or email susan@wesleychurch.com.
We thank you in advance for your participation in this program!
