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

Wesley church will be hosting a Pajama and Book drive where we will collect new pajamas and books to donate to the Pajama Program of NJ. Collection bins will be in the Narthex and Fellowship Hall through the month of January. The following page gives the guidelines for all donations to the Pajama Program. Please consider donating to this wonderful cause and share Gods presence by providing our children with the environment they need to thrive and feel safe.

January Mission

Pajama & Book Drive

The Angel Tree will be set up in the Narthex on November 17th. The angels on the tree will have information on gender, age and clothing sizes. Some may have information on the child’s interests. Take an angel, purchase a gift for the child, wrap it, tape the angel on the package and place it under the tree. We will let you know the deadline for the gifts.

Missions Update

From the Mission Team (12/14/2024)

Thank you again to all those who support our sandwich making efforts to provide lunches for BIANCA F.L.O.W.E.R.S. in Plainfield. We were able to pack 144 lunches on Monday. We will be packing lunches this coming Monday. After that we will have 3 weeks off because of the holiday schedule. Once again we welcome your sandwich donations this week. You can bring your sandwiches to church on Sunday or drop them off on Monday at 7:00 p.m.

Friday morning, we packed 170 lunches at New Dover UMC for the food distribution center in Elizabeth.

Kudos to everyone who came to pack diapers last Saturday. You packed 8,080 diapers. We hope to have them delivered to Maker’s Place in Ewing this coming week along with 73 packages of baby wipes. You all did an amazing job.

This week’s shopping list for the South Plainfield Social Services Department: snacks, crackers, cleaning supplies, toiletries, paper towels, rice, hearty soups, pasta and sauce, and pancake mix and syrup.

The Angel gifts need to be dropped off by this Sunday, December 15th so can we can deliver them to the social services department on Monday. Please remember to place the Angel tag on your gift so we can identify whom the gift is for. We will also distribute $800.00 in grocery store gift cards to the families we are serving.

Your mission money at work! Because of your monetary donations to our special mission fund throughout this year, we will be sending $1,000 to the UMCOR Disaster Relief Fund. We are also able to donate $400 in grocery store gift cards to single teen parents in Plainfield High School.
