WESLEY
UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
A WELCOMING CONGREGATION IN WEST TEXAS
Wesley United Methodist Church is celebrating it's 105th Church Anniversary during the month of March 2008. This is a celebration that is much more than a mere count of years. Despite our size, we are known as a progressive and ministry-rich congregation. From a congregation of community leaders in our formative years to a United Methodist Youth ministry that helped to shape a generation to ongoing ministries that lovingly reach out to hundreds of San Angeloans on a weekly basis, Wesley is celebrating 105 years of worship and ministries as the Body of Christ in San Angelo.
Anniversary Celebration
We might not look like it, but we just celebrated 103 years of
praise and service in the name of Jesus Christ. A special
worship service on March 30, 2008 gave our members the
opportunity to celebrate God's grace and mercy with friends and
family. The worship was made even more special by the
participation and support of the members and choir of
Mount Olive Baptist Church of Kerrville. The Reverend Charles
Biggs brought the celebratory message.
As we celebrated our 103rd Church Anniversary, there was nothing
left for us to say but, "Thanks be to God for His indescribable
gifts!" However, now that this day of celebration has past,
we return to the task of sharing our faith stories with a hungry
and hurting world. We are 103 years old for so much more than a
celebration. God has us here for a reason!
Welcoming Congregation
Certification
Wesley United Methodist Church
receives Igniting Ministries certification
In February, Wesley UMC received its first-year Welcoming
Ministries Certification. Though we have always been a welcoming
congregation, this certification affirms that ministries,
worship practices, ongoing programs, and other activities help
to ensure that we continue to be welcoming.
Through the process of becoming a Welcoming Congregation, we
discovered even more ways that we can make ours a congregation
that first-time visitors remember and yearn to revisit. As with
many United Methodist congregations in the San Angelo District,
we already had sufficient "points" to earn the certification.
However, in reviewing them, we found even more that we could
do...mostly at very little or no cost to the church.
As our congregation continues to grow, we continually look to
the guidance of the Holy Spirit and opportunities, such as
Welcoming Congregation Certification, to help us express and
share God's love that is within us..
