The 2024 growing season for our Wesley Community Garden will soon be underway! Our Garden Team will meet on Wednesday March 6 at 6:30 PM in the church library. All are welcome to attend, even if you’ve never participated in our community garden ministry before. For more information, please contact Christine Bell, our Community Garden Coordinator.
Winter Picnic – Rescheduled!
We’ve done Christmas in July… so why not summer in January? Join us for a summery indoor picnic, now rescheduled for Sunday January 21 after worship, sponsored by the Wesley Men’s Group. The men’s group will provide hot dogs, hamburgers, and beverages. Please bring a potluck side dish or dessert to complete our out-of-season meal! Have a special baked bean recipe? Our picnic will also include a baked bean cookoff and tasting! Also, we invite you to bring lawn games (ladder toss, corn hole, and more) — we’ll set these games up throughout the church (and may even organize some competitions, too!). For more information, please contact Rich Chambers. |
