Wesley Women Rummage Sale
The Wesley Women would like to thank everyone for making our Rummage Sale on Saturday, April 30,
a huge success. We could not have done it without you. Thanks to all who donated items, the Wesley 100 men who assisted us, the staff, and all the many volunteers who unpacked and displayed the items on the tables, and then those who priced and then the day of the sale, attended the cash registers or assisted customers and shopped. And then we packed up the leftover items for House of Prayer to pick up. We sold a lot and then House of Prayer picked up a lot. The Wesley 100 Men were able to sell many of their chicken pies. We made around $3,700 for our ministries. We will be able to put that money back into our church and community. A BIG THANK YOU to Judy Hustrulid for chairing the event and her team of Carrie Craig and Carol Young.
It warmed my heart to see so many volunteers working together. We are blessed to have a wonderful church with so many Servant Hearts.
Thank you and Bless you,
Lucille Duncan
Wesley Women, President

A Message from Congregational Care
Thank you to everyone who helped Congregational Care deliver over 100 spring plants to Wesley Memorial’s R.E.A.C.H. members for Holy Week. Wesley Memorial’s R.E.A.C.H. members are those who have Restricted or Reduced mobility, are Experiencing Exceptional circumstances, Advanced Aging, are Convalescing and or Homebound. Your generosity of time and spirit brought not only a touch of spring into the lives of these beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, but your visits also reassured them that they are valued members of our congregation. As one recipient said when asked if he had any special needs or prayer requests, “You already did it. You remembered me.”

God is doing amazing things with and within the Wesley Memorial Church student ministry (WMC Students)!
We reach 100+ students many weeks during the year! That means 100+ families are being impacted monthly
by the love of Christ through WMC Students!
We see students growing like Jesus “...in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people”
(Luke 2:52). And they’re inviting their friends! Our students are hearing about Christ’s love for them and then sharing that love with friends. We know the tiny mustard seeds we all are sowing into these young hearts will grow into the firm, steady trees by God’s grace.
On Wednesday, May 18, we are holding a “Chicken N Fixins” fundraising event. For this year’s event, we
are challenging ourselves to raise $20,000 through ticket sales and sponsorships to support Student
Ministries’ activities, events, renovations and summer staff. A few of the activities that occur regularly include:
High School:
● Weekly High School Guys and Girls Early Morning/Before School Bible Studies
● High School Hangouts
● Edge of Adventures (Seniors)
● Senior Guy and Girl Retreats
● Open Gyms
● & FOOD!
Middle School:
● Confirmation Journey Sessions and Retreats
● Weekly Open Gym
● Weekly Middle School Midweek Motivation
● Mountain Middle School Trip
● Church Lock-Ins
● & FOOD!

Additionally, we are also seeking to add new young adult leaders, a summer part-time worship leader and a
college graduate intern to our ministry team to disciple and reach more students! These young adults will act
as mentors and be someone our students can look up to as they walk in their faith.
My ask of you is to 1) purchase tickets 2) give a monetary donation via check written to our church with “Chicken N Fixins” in the memo OR through our church website and select “Chicken N Fixins” under the fund dropdown menu in the give box.
As a parent of two students and as part of the adult student ministry team, I am excited to watch our students continue to grow in their faith and strengthen their relationship with the Lord. The middle and high school students are the future leaders of our church, they are our influencers for the next generation, and we
appreciate any financial support you can give!
Thank you,
Tracy Briggs, Student Ministry Team Member
