Pastor's Notes to Wesley

Hello Wesley,

Yesterday came and went rather uneventful. Ezekiel did throw his Captain America shield on the neighbor's roof. Today is a new day, and when you think about it, that happens pretty often. Every day is a new day. I have come to measure my life not by days but by events, it helps me gauge my faithfulness better.

And there are several events that help my soul a lot. Did I talk with my son today, encourage my wife and daughter, or do something to make someone else's life easier? If I did not do most of those things, the day was not very eventful. My sweet potatoes grew back after I harvested them. I did not know they would do that. So I have a possible event. If I do something with them to make someone else's life easier, hen I have accomplished something of value. I gave away much of my first batch of sweet potatoes and my neighbor said, "I do not like sweet potatoes." So I made him a sweet potato pie, gave it to him and said, "thought this might change your mind about sweet potatoes." When Ezekiel went up on the roof to get his Captain America shield and came down, my neighbor said, "tell your grandpa the pie was really good!" Now that is an event I can use to measure my life.

We should all try our best to create events in our lives that we can use to measure our faithfulness. Long ago I told my children no more presents for me. Make a memory. And that has served all of us very well.

I love being your pastor,
Ernie

The month of November is “Go” Month for Wesley and we invite everyone to think about those individuals that we know need a little help around the house and yard. There will be many "Go Days" throughout the month, not just one day that we will serve our community like we did last year.

Please take time to fill out the card below and send to the church office if you know of someone in need or wish to be a Team Leader.

Get your teams together and pick a date to remember “Others ARE Important”. We encourage you to invite your neighbors, coworkers and family to join you!

We will no longer be having the Salvation Army Donation Drop Box here at Wesley. Unfortunately, there have been items that are too large being left outside of the Drop Box that couldn't be collected and it has become an eye sore & a difficult job for the Salvation Army workers. Below is a link for anyone that would like to schedule a pick up for donations through the Salvation Army.
