Get Your Wesley Travel Mug!
When we rolled out our new coffee mugs earlier this year, many asked if we were planning to offer travel versions of the mugs for purchase. We’re happy to share that travel mugs are now here! Each 12-ounce insulated stainless steel mug costs $20. Mugs may be purchased from Susan at the welcome desk on Sunday mornings after worship, or from the church office throughout the week. Please make checks payable to “Wesley United Methodist Church.”
