VOICE Corner:  Here is the latest news from VOICE at Wesley!  If you’re not familiar with VOICE (Voices Organized in Civic Engagement), it is a coalition of congregations, associations, schools, and non-profit groups that have come together out of a deep sense of mission and concern for the pressures faced by families in OKC. Visit the VOICE website: https://www.voiceokc.org/  for more information. All members of the congregation are welcome to attend meetings or information sessions related to issues that are of interest.
