WESLEY WEEKLY

August 4 - August 11

Join us this Sunday, August 7, as we welcome an American R&B, soul singer, and actor Louis Price to Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church. Price, a friend of our congregation, will perform at the 9:45 a.m. Contemporary Service and at the 11 a.m. Traditional Service. Price was a former member of the Temptations.

Nationally Syndicated Columnist to Speak at Local Church

Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church invites the community to see nationally syndicated columnist John Rosemond on Sunday, Aug. 21. Two opportunities will be available to hear Rosemond.

During the 11 a.m. worship service, Wesley Memorial UMC will honor and thank area educators and administrators. The event will feature Rosemond followed by a free lunch in the Dining Hall for educators that will include free gifts and a Walmart gift card. Please RSVP by August 15 for this event.

Rosemond has worked with families, children, and parents since 1971 in the field of family psychology. He is a licensed family psychologist in North Carolina. Rosemond is syndicated in approximately 225 newspapers nationwide. He has written eleven best-selling parenting books. He is known for his sound advice, humor and easy, relaxed, engaging style.

Rosemond is holding a seminar titled, “Parenting with Love and Leadership” in the Fellowship Hall at Wesley Memorial UMC at 2 p.m. The focus will be on effective discipline, with an emphasis on universal principles rather than specific techniques, although the latter is used in true-life examples and anecdotes.

In this often humorous and thought-provoking seminar, Rosemond describes the contemporary parenting conundrum in clear, compelling terms and then describes a practical, tested solution. He teaches how to motivate maximum child compliance by using “leadership speech.”

Tickets ($5 per person or $10 per couple) can be purchased in the church office or online Email Rev. Clark Chilton with questions.

Walk to Emmaus Retreat

The Walk to Emmaus is a wonderful 72-hour retreat held over a weekend. The retreat is sponsored by the Upper Room of the United Methodist Church. The focus of the retreat is on spiritual growth and renewal as well as reviewing our core Christian beliefs. Most people who attend the Walk to Emmaus feel like it was one of the most spiritual encounters they have ever had. The retreat is offered as separate men's and women's weekends. The next retreats will be in mid-September. If you are interested in learning more about the retreat please email Les Hurrelbrink or call 336-687-2769.

Under the Sea: What’s summertime without water slides, sprinklers, baby pools, ice pops and a few hundred verses of “Baby Shark." The WMS children wore their bathing suits, slathered on sunscreen, and laid out their beach towels to prepare for a hot sunshiny morning of water play. In the classroom seashell collages, ocean creature paintings, and special beach Jello cups were enjoyed by all. We want to give a huge shout-out to our very own Josh Turner, Children’s Ministries Summer Intern, and our amazing Kindergarten Teacher, Dawn Miller, for their water play expertise! We know they had just as much fun as the children. You both are the VERY BEST!

We celebrate another fun-filled learning and growing time at summer camp. As our last week winds up we will send everyone off with prayers and blessings for the upcoming school year. Come visit us in the WMS. 2022-2023 will be our 60^th School Year!
