Weekly Announcement 10/16/2025

Greetings in Christ, Church Family,

As I head off on vacation, I want to express my heartfelt thanks for your continued support and faithfulness. During my time away:

• Charlie and Anjana will be preaching the sermon.

• Pastor Joe will be available for pastoral care (please contact the church office to reach him).

• Scott will lead our Spiritual Nourishment Room gatherings.

  
  

It brings me great joy to know that God’s work continues through such faithful hands. Thank you all for the many ways you serve our church.

I pray that the Lord’s grace will be with each of you over the next two weeks, guiding, protecting, and encouraging you in all that you do.

Update on the Peace Deal in the Middle East

We give thanks to God for the implementation of the first phase of the peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, which has led to the release of all surviving Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners.

This is a hopeful step toward healing and reconciliation. Let us continue to pray for lasting peace and justice in the region—may the process be guided by wisdom, compassion, and the Spirit of God.

Charge Conference Sunday - A Joyful Success

Over the past few weeks, our church office has been bustling with preparations for the Charge Conference, and we give thanks to God that everything went so smoothly last Sunday.

A heartfelt thank you to:

• All the leaders who prepared their reports

• Everyone who contributed to the fellowship meal

  
  

Your dedication is a beautiful reflection of God’s love in action. As we conclude our year-end review and step into the new year, let’s move forward with renewed faith, committed to the vision of Wesley Church’s restoration project.
