Those folks who are 55+ years of age are encouraged to come join this group's monthly luncheons and various activities. All the food is guaranteed to be great and the fellowship to be even better. This group even allows those folks who aren't quite 55 years old yet to come join in on the fun! The goal of this group is to bring others in for fellowship and to reach out to the senior members of the community.
"The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green,
To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. "
Psalm 92:12-15

Purse Collection for House of Ruth
Every year we collect purses and fill them with toiletries and adorn them with a scarf for a battered women's shelter called the House of Ruth. We provide them for Mother's Day since most often these women are picking up and leaving with just their children and fleeing an abusive situation. In this past year of 2011, we collected 90 purses for the House of Ruth.

Usher & Greeter Ministry
The Usher and Greeter Ministry is intended to make people feel welcomed to our church and to coordinate various functions related to the church service. Specifically, greeters are organized to welcome guests and members as they enter the church, offer bulletins, and answer questions or direct people to where they want to be. Ushers are organized to collect tithes and offerings, give out materials as directed, count those in attendance, and open and close the sanctuary doors during services. This group also coordinates with the Communion committee to make sure there are enough people to serve communion.

Wesleyan Kids for Missions
Wesleyan Kids for Missions teaches kids the names of the missionaries the church supports, the jobs our missionaries perform, and what life is like in the country our missionaries serve in. We study customs, what the country is like and may even learn a few of their foreign words. We also incorporate fun games for the kids as well. The most popular is where the kids make a passport and will add a flag for each country they "visit". This gives them the feeling that they are traveling there themselves. The kids can also check out books from the WKFM library that tells them about a particular missionary and their personal stories. The Wesleyan Kids for Missions (WKFM) meets on the second Sunday of each month.
Wesleyan Pantry
We have helped our church family, some neighboring families, and even helped people who have stopped by the church that need food and water. When the pantry runs low on food, our church fills the cupboards back up again. We have even had members in our church who are out of work or have had their hours cut that have been blessed by this ministry. This program is also a ministry tool for our church members to use to reach out to those in need. The purpose of this food pantry is twofold. We are here to help support the people within our congregation as well as any friends, neighbors or relatives. This food could also be used to help any individual who does not know Jesus as their savior.

Women's Spring Tea
Each Spring, the ladies in the church get together for a time of fellowship. It helps those in attendance to grow stronger in their faith. Upon arrival, they are greeted at the door and escorted to their table. They begin by feasting on an array of finger sandwiches and fruit followed by some yummy desserts. Of course their are plenty of teas to choose from as well. It is a time to worship, pray and to fellowship with one another. By continuing to do events such as these, those who are in attendance will continue to grow spiritually. God has given everyone different talents and it is wonderful to how everyone is an encouragement to one another through word and prayer.

Youth Ministry
The Youth Ministry meets every Wednesday at 7pm. Our leaders teach the young people how Jesus can change their life and challenge them to lead a more spirit filled life. While their peers or friends might mock them for their beliefs or their faith, we encourage them to stand strong in their belief. The youth are an important part of our church as we prepare future men and women to be the leaders within their own home as well as the leaders within our congregation and to the local community.
