WESLEY's EMAIL WORD
Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church
Cleveland Tennessee
July 17, 2007
COMMUNITY-WIDE FOOD DRIVE
Friday, July 27th from 4-7 PM
The 90-Days of Blessing follows the
Global Day of Prayer as an opportunity for Christians to not only
continue in persistent prayer, but to become actively involved in
serving and reaching out. This is a time of being creative in the
Spirit and a time of becoming the hands and feet of Jesus in
broken communities.
On Friday, July 27, from 4-7 PM, please
bring non-perishable food items to Pathway Bookstore. Volunteers
will be available to assist you. J103
will be broadcasting live for the marathon food collection!
The food items collected will be
distributed to the following local faith-based organizations that
assist the disadvantaged in Bradley County:
o Faith Memorial
o First Baptist Church Manna Ministry
o Mt. Olive East
o New Life Bible Church
o The Caring Place
o Valley View Baptist Storehouse
NOTICE: A community-wide food drive will be also be held on
Friday, August 24, at Cleveland High School. WBAC will broadcast
live at this event.
Spice of Life’s 20 Year Celebration!
On July 29, 1987, nine members of Wesley Memorial UMC met to
begin a senior adult ministry. Ideas were exchanged, goals
discussed, a name decided upon, and Spice of Life began. God has
blessed this ministry over the past 20 years with great times of
fellowship and many opportunities to travel and enjoy new places.
So, now it is time to CELEBRATE and that is what we plan to do!
On Tuesday, August 7, we invite you to come enjoy lunch at Noon
at our usual place in Anderson Hall. There will be time to
reminisce and time to look forward. If you have never joined us
before, we extend a special invitation to you; come learn what we
are all about. Reservations are required so please let us know if
you plan to attend by calling Noreen Lonas at 476-3878. The
deadline to do so is August 1.
We hope to see you there!
