A CHURCH THAT SHOWS UP

“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” - John 13:35

You are invited to make an impact!

We believe God calls each of us to change the world for the better! At Wesley, we don’t sit on the sidelines. We get out of our seats and into the streets to care for our neighbors. Join a community outreach and serve the hungry and homeless in NJ. Or go global and help with Nyagidha Education Center in Kenya on the other side of the world.

Weekly Mission

Ending Local Hunger.

We are big on feeding people. We collect food for South Plainfield Social Services and partner with New Dover UMC in Edison to make hundreds of sandwiches and collect food for St. Joseph's Food Distribution Center in Elizabeth every Friday.

For more information, click here. To join the team or arrange drop offs through Wesley Church, please contact Connie Palmer.

We delivered more than 100,000 sandwiches
since the pandemic.

Monthly Missions

If you have a child in college, please contact the church office or Connie Palmer and provide their dormitory address. We will send a care package to support them during their final exam period.

In April, we are focusing on supporting the United Methodist Communities, a not-for-profit Christian organization established in 1907. These senior living communities, five of which are in New Jersey, aim to provide independent living for seniors who need help with daily activities and can no longer live in their homes. During the month of April, if you are able, please indicate on your contribution envelope “United Methodist Communities.” The Mission Team has designated $1,000 in matching funds for this valuable cause. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and helps many in need.

The lunchroom will be ready to receive sandwiches from our loyal sandwich providers this coming Monday, April 7th. We are also glad that Sharon’s small group will be with us to help pack.

We packed 165 lunches at New Dover on Friday to go to the food distribution center in Elizabeth.

I have an unofficial shopping list for the South. Plainfield Social Services Department: pasta and sauce, snacks, cleaning products, canned meats, pasta and rice sides, kid cereal, and paper products.

So ecstatic! We surpassed our expectations in serving UMCOR this past month! You donated $2,099 for the disaster relief fund, and we will send another $1,000.00, bringing the total to $3,099.00 for the fund. We will also be sending $1289.72 plus another $500.00, totaling $1789.72 to help with their administrative expenses. Way to go Wesley!

For the month of April we will focusing on the United Methodist Communities, a nonprofit serving senior living communities. Their mission is to provide independent living to seniors who need help with everyday activities and can no longer live in their own home. The UMC Gift of Care Circle is part of the United Methodist Communities. One of the Circle’s prime objectives is to ensure that no resident will be made to leave if their ability to pay disappears. For more information on this organization read the mission article in the April newsletter. The mission team is offering $1,000.00 in matching funds to encourage contributions to the United Methodist Communities during the month of April.
