Leading up to the Nehemiah Action, HOPE will have meet up on Monday, Feb. 27 at Hyde Park United Methodist Church at 7:00pm to rally all Network Members to learn what we discovered during our research and what we want from public officials at the Nehemiah Action. Network member make committments toward the Nehemiah Action.

The Nehemiah Action will then meet at Bible-Based Fellowship Church at 7:00pm on March 20th. The goal is to get as many people possible there to stand in unity as HOPE makes a petition to public officials for progress in specific areas. Wesley has made a goal of getting a minimum of 40 people from our congregation to join us at this event. The power of numbers in people helps the petition for much needed improvements in Hillsborough County and hold our publc oficials accountable for justice.

For more information, please contact Carol Dittmar at (813)499-7167 or [email protected].

Wesley will continue the tradition of blessing famiies with a complimentary meal on Thanksgiving Day. Last year, due to covid, we had a drive thru and delivery service. In the past we had a sit down dinner as well, and hopefully if covid is at bay, we will again this year.

This is a great way to spend Thanksgiving Day fellowshiping with other members while serving the community. It has been a welcomed blessing to struggling families and individuals who find themselves alone for the holiday, as well as the people who serve.

If you would like to volunteer to help serve this year in the Community Thanksgiving Meal, please contact the church office at [email protected]

Below are pictures from last year!

Please contact the church office if you are willing to be a leader. This year George and Terry Mummert have agreed to help coordinate activities.

If you know of someone who needs a little extra help, please submit info to church office. Please include address, contact number and a description of the need. We will start a listing now and then turn over to George and Terry to coordinate as we approach closer to November.
