Come join us this afternoon, Sunday, March 21, at 4:00 p.m. for our March meeting. There will be faith building, fun, food, & fellowship. You won't want to miss it! This is for all students in grades 3-5. The remainder of our calendar will include meetings on April 18 and May 16 for lots more learning and fun. This fun group provides an opportunity for 3rd - 5th graders to get together once per month for fellowship and service September through May. Each meeting usually has a component of fun, fellowship, food and service with a Bible verse tying all events back to the Word. They have lots of fun activities like going to Walkabout Acres (kind of a petting zoo/bee farm/nursery) in Columbia and going to Shakespeare's pizza for a fun, end-of-the-year field trip. The children have had water game parties and made numerous holiday crafts over the years. But these "Mini-Methodists" also discover that being a follower of Christ means serving others and helping the church. They have done numerous projects for the shut-ins, they have made head rest pillows, provided food for Habitat for Humanity workers, written holiday cards and gone caroling at Christmas to their homes, to name a few. They have replenished the church pew pockets as a surprise for the persons in charge that week. Wesley's Mini-Methodist Group also sponsored a "Comfort in Crisis" event during the month of March 2007 by collecting Teddy Bears for donation to local law enforcement agencies. The Teddy Bears were given to children in need of comfort after a tragedy. The MnM's also wrote comforting messages about the love of Jesus and Wesley Church to put around the neck of each bear.
