Flowers

One of our very own Wesley members has hand crafted beautiful natural birdhouses out of salvaged lumber. They are to attract the Blue Bird and the Carolina Wren. Each one is balanced with a hook for sturdy hanging and comes with a clean-out door on the bottom to keep the house tidy and to entice new tenants. Each house is a unique one of a kind made with love. A suggested donation of $25.00 would be welcomed and appreciated and you too can have one swinging from your tree. All donations will help offset the cost of The Children’s African Choir that will join us in September here again at Wesley.

Join us on Thursday, February 21st as we are head to

Mackinaw for lunch in the Tea Room at the Depot. We will

leave from Wesley Church @ 10:00am and return back

mid- afternoon. So please come join us! Sign-up sheet in the

office or call Joan in the office @ 647-1015

Prime Timer’s Outing

Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!

The flowers on the organ are in celebration of Arlene Morgan’s birthday

Thank you to all our many friends at Wesley Church. Your thoughts, comfort, food, support, love, thoughtfulness, cards, donations to Cheryl’s scholarship and prayers were greatly appreciated during the time of Cheryl’s passing. Sorry for the confusion that Sunday morning. At least it didn’t occur during the sermon (Mainly as a kid, but a few times since, we thought we were going to die before the sermon was finished.)

The funeral service conducted by Rev. Bruce and Rev. Leanne was quite honoring and meaningful. The music was outstanding and a wonderful dinner was enjoyed by all that attended.

Thank you,

Henry, Phil, Greg Dare and Families

Thank you
