In preparation for the annual chicken pie sale, the Wesley 100 is looking to an electric/manual dough roller. The roller is needed on November 10 -11 and will need to be capable of making up to an 11” pie topper. If you or someone you know has access to a dough roller, please reach out to Carroll Brown at 336-689-0056.

The Congregational Care Team would appreciate your help delivering poinsettias to REACH (Restricted or Reduced Mobility, Exceptional Circumstances, Advanced Aging, Convalescing, or Homebound) members of our congregation on Friday, December 2nd from 6:30 to 7:30 immediately following the tree lighting. Please drive through the porte cochere at the side entrance to the narthex where we will load your car. You may request the number of poinsettias you wish to deliver along with specific neighborhoods or specific recipients. Hope to see you!

It’s that time of year again! We will launch our Angel Tree Project on November 18. This program provides Christmas gifts for children who have an incarcerated parent. Each child will receive a clothing gift and a non-clothing gift. Angels will be on the Christmas trees in the Bridge Café, Sunday School area and the Narthex outside the sanctuary. Angels will provide the necessary information to purchase gifts. Wrap the two gifts in the same paper and stick the angle on the package. A for non-clothing and B for clothing. Please include the receipt for your items.

Presents need to be turned into the church before December 4. You can place the gifts under the trees. 

We will decorate the entire church for Christmas this year. You may order wreaths, poinsettias in honor or memory of your loved one. Because we are bringing back our traditional Lovefeast Service on Christmas Eve, we will offer new this year, Moravian Buns and candles to be used at the Lovefeast for you to purchase in memory or honor of your love ones in lots of $25, $50 or $100. Place your order now by calling Sue Schoch at 336-812-4806.

Cover the City was founded by Amanda Foster Anderson 10 years ago after she saw a man sleeping behind Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. She and her friends did what they could to help him but never saw him again. It came to her attention that homeless shelters rarely have blankets donated and there is a tremendous need in the City. Thus, Cover the City was born. Since 2013 over 50,000 people have found warmth in the winter months. The organization has grown from a High Point based organization to 5 different states and 10 different cities with over 100 partners and sponsorships.

Wesley Memorial will conduct a blanket drive the first two Sundays in November. Boxes will be placed at each worship location where you may bring your gently used or new blankets, comforters, or throws of any size. A Cleaner World will clean and pack the blankets for distribution. After the drive Wesley Memorial will match you donations so your one becomes two! When you snuggle in your warm bed just imagine what it would be like to sleep outside with no blanket or to sleep in a shelter with no warm cover. Blankets are also given to Law Enforcement to be given to those in need. 

Share the hope and joy of the Christmas season as a volunteer at our Christmas Drive-Thru event on December 18th. It takes lots of volunteers to make the Christmas Drive-Thru a success, and we have opportunities for all ages. From the setup of the various stations to acting as a sheep, volunteers make this event truly spectacular! Give back this holiday season by committing to serve as a volunteer.

INTERESTED IN HELPING TO START A SINGLES MINISTRY FOR THE HIGH POINT COMMUNITY?

Did you know that nearly 50% of U.S. adults are single? That is 126.9 million unmarried Americans. Our congregation would like to create a singles group that would meet periodically for Christian friendship, fellowship and fun. We will have an informational meeting on Thursday, Nov. 10, 6:30 pm. If interested in this ministry, please contact Pastor Jeff at jpatterson@wesleymemorial.org. 

Congregational Care is developing a Visiting Eucharistic Ministry to serve communion to our members who are unable to join us at church for the Great Thanksgiving. We need members to visit congregants and serve communion (training will be provided) and to make phone calls and coordinate schedules. If you are interested in learning more about this meaningful ministry, please email Pastor Lisa Tanico at LTanico@WesleyMemorial.org. 

Wesley Memorial is the home to one of the 13 satellite offices to Sanctuary Counseling Group which provides mental health counseling and pastoral counseling. Their mission is to walk with clients as they journey towards the healing of their minds, hearts, and souls.
