Wesley's United Methodist Women

Our United Methodist Women's unit is a relatively new group within the Wesley congregation.  The U.M.W., as it is called, actually has a long tradition.  It is part of a movement that began back in the 1870's as Methodist women gathered to address their spiritual needs.  From the beginning they organized efforts to address the needs of children and to strengthen the missionary work of the church.

Today more than one million other women, including the members of United Methodist Women of this congregation, continue this heritage of service to others.  United Methodist Women is an organized group of women to work under the direction, authority and example of Jesus Christ, for the continuing humanization of God's world, mobilizers for the resources of women, and active participants in the global mission of the church.

We support mission projects - local, national and around the world - with our love, gifts, service, and prayers.   We try to become whole persons through reading, study and prayer.

Wesley U.M.W. Donates Money for Youth Mission Work
Approximately $224 has been donated to Wesley Youth for 2011 mission work.  The money donated were profits made from the 2010 nut sales.  Thank you to everyone who purchased nuts that made this donation possible.  The church's youth have also expressed their appreciation to the U.M.W. for this kind gesture.

Thank you to the United Methodist Women from Wesley Youth
The Wesley youth would like to thank the U.M.W. for their generous donation of $224.66 to be used for their summer Mission Monday projects.  It's exciting to see the possibilities when we work together for the good of the Lord!  Thank you!
