Wesley on the Move March 1 – March 8

In Worship:  We begin our new Lenten worship series, The Way.  Lent is a time of reflection, of soul-searching, and taking stock of our lives. Lent invites us to take a journey of the heart, as a way of gaining perspective and insight.  In the weeks ahead, we will make our way together, seeking to live the life we’ve been given to the fullest.  This week:  The Wandering Way.

SUNDAY March 1st Volunteers
OFFERING COUNTERS: Marianne Morgan and John Lingo
GREETERS: Nancy Sterling
SUNDAY LUNCH:  All Church Potluck!

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.
Upcoming Events:

• THIS SUNDAY during our fellowship lunch – VOICE at Wesley Informational Session.  During our fellowship lunch, Roland Haney and others will lead a 15-minute presentation to share more about VOICE and how you can get involved!
• Saturday, Mar. 7 from 10 AM – noon:  Wesley core leader’s formation meeting.

Stories Needed!    VOICE is currently working on predatory (Payday) lending and student loan debt.  If you’ve personally experienced unscrupulous loan practices and would like to share your story (with your name or anonymously), you can complete the form and return it to Pastor Marla Lobo at Wesley or share your story in person with Roland Haney or Mary Benner on March 1.
