Our Confirmands get High Marks
All three of this year's confirmands, Charlie Winborn, Shelby Newberry, and Michelle Boyer, all made the honor roll at school this past term.  While their school work is clearly important to them, they have also made confirmation class a priority, each having perfect attendance.  This coming Sunday they will attend the fifth of their ten Sunday afternoon sessions with Rev. Williams.  Cheer them on by dropping a note in the "Confirmand Mailbox" in the fellowship hall.

Snack Volunteers Needed
If any families or groups would like to provide a snack meal for our students, we would really appreciate the treats.  The Food Schedule is posted on the youth bulletin board in the Sunday School hallway.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Venturing Crew for Youth
The Wesley United Methodist Men's Group is sponsoring a Venturing Crew through the Boy Scouts of America, which is for young adults ages 14-20.  Venturing is one of the basic programs of the Boy Scouts of America to help build character, values, and leadership.  It provides ideals to last a lifetime, sets a solid course for the future, and lets young adults plan their own activities for positive recognition today.  High school age young adults can find themselves at a crossroads in life.  As they are confronted by an increasing number of challenges, the Venturing program helps youth at that crossroads to find direction for their lives.  For more information about Wesley's Venturing Crew, please contact Jeff Korman or Kirk Boyer.  Or go to the official website for Venturing.

Pop Your Top!
The Wesley Junior High Youth are still collecting pop can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House and they want to thank everyone who has brought in pop tabs to church. 
As of May 1, Wesley U.M.C. has donated a little over 54,000 tabs or 22 pounds to the Ronald McDonald House in Columbia.  Please continue to collect and bring them to church.  Don't forget the tabs on soup cans also count. Let's see how many we can collect.  Every little bit helps!  The collection container is a cardboard house located on the counter next to the pop machine.  Please deposit your can tabs there.
