God’s love does not end at the sanctuary entrance and neither does Wesley’s commitment to spreading the Good Word. The congregation is actively involved in many mission projects, both locally and globally, working to create a better world today for all of God’s children. We also create many opportunities throughout the year to welcome the broader community to Wesley UMC and facilitate connections among neighbors. Below are just some of the current and annual activities at Wesley:
Mission & Community Outreach
Support for victims of natural disasters through UMCOR Care Kits
Food collection for the local food bank
Christmas Adopt-a-Family program providing gifts for those without the means to purchase themselves
Winter coat and hats/mittens collection for local families in need
Volunteering with RI Community Food Bank & GROW UP Community Garden
Community Events
May Breakfast – A traditional New England May Day Breakfast in our Fellowship Hall
Bunny Breakfast – An Easter celebration for children of all ages including an Easter egg hunt and visits from the Easter Bunny himself
Blessing of the Animals – An opportunity to share God’s grace with the animals that are a part of our families
Christmas on the Hill – The annual Christmas Fair at Wesley where all manner of hand-crafted gifts, baked goods and other treats can be found
