WESLEY WEEKLY

April 7 - 14

Discernment Team Created

These are interesting days in the United Methodist Church. New winds are blowing and change is happening. Division will come to the denomination as new expressions of Methodism are created. The Church’s reaffirmation of a traditional view of human sexuality and marriage left many people dissatisfied and increased the intensity of the debate on issues surrounding how Christians determine their faith and practice. The issues and views that have led to this liminal season in the life of our denomination are varied and complex.

The issues facing our denomination have a two-thousand-year history. To help us stay informed and navigate these challenging days of great opportunity, our Church Council has created a Discernment Team that will enter a season of serious study, prayer, discussion, and reflection. This team will invest a significant amount of time in the process and will relate to both the Church Council and the Administrative Team.

Hi, I'm Aubrey Perryman and my hobby is art. I love art because it's very calming and is a stress reliever for me. I would love for other kids to be able to do art too, when they need a stress reliever. Unfortunately, some kids don't have the right materials, so that is what I decided to do for my Girl Scout Bronze award project. I chose the children at the Baptist Children’s home because they are often in stressful situations since they do not have the love and support of a permanent home like most kids do.

If you don't know what the Girl Scout Bronze award project is, it is the first of the three highest awards in Girl Scouts. You start your bronze journey when you are a Junior in 4th grade and finish it before you graduate to be a Cadette, in 6th grade. Please help me, help them, in donating the following things:

Copy paper
Markers
Pencils
Crayons
Erasers
Scissors
Glue
Colored construction paper
Craft kits
Chalk
Sweets or snacks

There will be bins placed in the Bridge Cafe and outside the children’s hall at Wesley Memorial from Sunday, April 10 until Sunday, April 24. I would greatly appreciate all your help and support in my project!

Thank you!
