It is a blessing to worship in the Wesley Way congregation every Sunday! Whether

this is your first visit or you’re a charter member, I hope this is a meaningful time of

worship for you and I hope you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit during today’s

service. Wesley Way offers two worship opportunities. The informal, contemporary

service meets at 8:30am and the traditional service at 10:30am. Both services meet in

the sanctuary.

If you would like me or any of the staff to contact you, please indicate so on the

attendance card found in the red registration pad at the end of your row. May God bless

us all as we worship together this morning!
