Coming soon to your mailbox…

Each Fall your Wesley Memorial family Enters a season of intentional spiritual reflection, renewal and response. During the month of October we consider how God is calling each of us to serve, grow and gift during the 2023 ministry year ahead.

To help you in that reflection, renewal and response, we are sending you some resources to use. Our theme this year is “the gift… more than we had hoped” based on II Corinthians 8:1-15. We ask that you use the brochure as a resource in your devotional time as you think and pray about God‘s gift to you, your gift to God and the gift you share with others.

Along with the brochure you will have two response forms to complete as God lead you to serve, grow and give. You may also complete the forms online. Hardcopy forms may be mailed, brought to the church office or put in the offering plate at any worship service. Please return both response forms by October 30 so they can be included in our celebration Sunday consecration service.

Blessings,

Pastor Ken

Reminder: Consecration Celebration Sunday is next Sunday, October 30th. This is a special Sunday when all of our Serving/Growing Response forms received so far will be consecrated and dedicated for the 2023 ministry year ahead. There will be a celebratory brunch in the Dining Hall following the 8:30am and 9:45am services; take away boxes will be in the Narthex following the 11:00 service. The meal will includes chicken salad croissants with lettuce and tomato, potato chips, fruit, and a cookie.

If you haven’t already done so, please fill out your Generosity Response forms with your serving, growing and giving commitments and bring them to one of the worship services on October 30. You may also mail your form to 1225 Chestnut St., High Point NC 27262 or go online to wesleymemorial.org/give and fill it out electronically.
