There are many opportunities to connect and become an active part of the Wesley Church family. Here are just a few groups that you may be interested in learning about:
Communion Visitation Ministry
This ministry grew out of a small group study of “This Holy Mystery: A United Methodist Understanding of Holy Communion.” After the study was completed, participants elected to take part in organizing a practice of taking Holy Communion to our members in nursing homes or those unable to attend worship at church. This activity is open to others who may be interested in taking part in this special visitation. Please contact the church office (for more information.
Food Pantry
Wesley participates in supporting the Ecumenical Food Pantry located at Trinity Episcopal Church, 311 Division St., Oshkosh (920-231-2420). Volunteers from Wesley generally work on Tuesdays by sorting and distributing food. Congregants also collect canned goods at Wesley for delivery to the food pantry.
Happy Elders
Organized for Wesley members and friends ages 55 and older, the primary purpose is to provide times of fellowship and social activities a few times a year for those of us in our ‘golden years.’ It is blessed with an endowment from a former Happy Elder that provides funding for various activities. Some past excursions include visiting Rawhide Boys Ranch, a day trip bus tour of Door County with a few stops along the way, a boat trip through the Upper Dells, Christmas productions at Calvary Bible Church, and various musical/theater events.
Watch for news of events planned, publicized through our website calendar, church bulletin announcements and monthly newsletter. If you have a suggestion for an activity this group may be interested in, contact the church office at 235-3070 or wesleyumc@tds.net
Men’s Group
This informal gathering of Wesley members and friends does not have a set schedule of meetings at this time, but joins together for special projects and social events. Some recent ventures include preparing and serving church breakfasts, fundraising to provide youth camp scholarships and golf outings. As membership grows and mutual interests develop, opportunities for a diverse range of activities abound. With no formal structure in leadership, any member is encouraged to propose and/or organize an activity for the group at a time most convenient for him.
Contact the church office (235-3070 or wesleyumc@tds.net) to be connected with the Men’s Group.
