6th Sunday after Pentecost
It is a blessing to worship in the Wesley Way congregation every Sunday! Whether
this is your first visit or you’re a charter member, I hope this is a meaningful time of
worship for you and I hope you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit during today’s
service. Wesley Way offers two worship opportunities. The informal, contemporary
service meets at 8:30am and the traditional service at 10:30am. Both services meet in
the sanctuary.
If you would like me, or any of the staff, to contact you please indicate so on the
attendance card found in the red registration pad at the end of your row. May God bless
us all as we worship together this morning!

carpool to Pilgreens. It is imperative that we
carpool because parking is very limited.
Annabelle has graciously offered to provide
food and drinks for us. Therefore, please do
not bring any food or drinks with you. She
will need a head count so she knows how
much to prepare, so please email and let us
know if you will be there. We will eat and
play games before the fireworks start.

the youth at UMYF on Sunday, July 24th. We

UMW Reading Program July starts a new year for the UMW Reading
Program. Please take advantage of some slow
time this summer to check out some of the
Reading Books on the UMW bookshelves in
room 222. Plan I is to read 5 books, one from
each category and Response Magazine, also
on the shelves. You might be interested in the
following book: Small Things with Great
Love: Adventures in Loving Your Neighbor by
Margot Starbuck
Margo says “We don’t have to add lots more
overwhelming activity to what we’ve already
got going….The regular stuff of our lives—
the commute to work and the potlucks and
home improvement projects and errands and
play dates—are the exact places in which we
express and experience God’s love for a world
in need.” Margo looks at our age, our person-
ality, the stages of life, where we live and our
circumstances to help us see in each of them
how to love our neighbor. She challenges us to
look at our strengths to share God’s love daily
and does so with humor.
Upcoming Events August 6, UMW District Social Action event
August 13, noon UMW Lunch in sanctuary
Hearing Assistance Hearing devices are available every Sunday

Donated VBS Items Thank you for your generosity and willingness
to assist the ministry of Vacation Bible
School! If you donated items for VBS and
haven’t picked them up please retrieve them
from the stack of items in the hallway beside
the Finance office.
Room Arrangements A few months ago the announcement was
made that the Finance office would become
the Business office housing the church
Treasurer and Office Manager. The plan was
to relocate the Preschool Director and
Children’s Pastor into the classroom 125 that
was, with few exceptions, only utilized on
Wednesday evening for the D.O.T.S.
children’s Bible study.
That plan has been updated. Due to Preschool
growth, classroom 125 will serve as a shared
Preschool and Sunday School room. The
Office Manager will remain in the church’s
front office and the Preschool Director will
remain in the Finance office. The Children’s
Pastor will move across from the Youth
Pastor’s office/classroom into the Club 45
classroom. This room will become shared
space serving as Children’s Pastor office and
the Club 45 classroom.
If you have any questions about this please
don’t hesitate to talk with Pastor Kevin. All
persons directly effected by these changes are
excited about the opportunities they bring!
Thank you for your patience and involvement
with the planning and growth of Wesley Way.
Early Methodism was driven by mission and outreach.
The roots of Wesley Way United Methodist Church is mission
and outreach. The essence of mission and outreach is sharing
the love we have experienced from Jesus Christ with those
who do not know Him.
Revelation 22:1 states, “Then the angel showed me
the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.”
Here, the messenger of God reveals the water of
life flowing from the throne where Jesus sits.
This water is life-giving and holy. As recipients
of this life-giving water—the love and grace of
Jesus Christ—we are tasked to share it with others.
Therefore Wesley Way United Methodist Church
is Working as God’s living water to win a world
for Jesus Christ.
As people who have received the life-giving,
sin-pardoning, grace filled love of Jesus Christ
we have been tasked by the tradition of the
United Methodist Church and by the
Great Commission of Jesus Christ
to go into all the world
locally, regionally,
and internationally
to share Jesus to all.
With the power, passion,
and guidance of the Holy Spirit we
are to cover the world with the love of Christ.
