Music Ministry participants present vocal, handbell, piano, organ and other instrumental anthems and selections during all regular and special worship services. The traditional and contemporary praise styles are blended together in an attempt to appeal to all worshippers. The projecting of song words on large screens in the sanctuary enhances congregational singing.Holy Communion is served the first Sunday of each month as a part of the Sunday Morning Worship Service and also each Wednesday as a part of the Wednesday Evening Service. Communion elements are also taken to church members who are shut-ins and residents of local retirement and assisted-living centers and are served by volunteers with special instruction from the pastor.

When
two persons enter into holy matrimony, they not only pledge faith to each
other, but they also enter into covenant with God. It is the desire of
this congregation and its minister that every wedding ceremony shall be
a service of worship and that the occasion shall be memorable and truly
beautiful. While there may be fees involved, the church building is never
"rented out", and participants are expected to observe the church's traditions. When a church member or a friend of Wesley Church passes from this life, it is the desire of this congregation to provide an expression of care and comfort for the family and friends of the deceased. The pastor should be contacted at the church or at the church parsonage to visit with the family and make arrangements and plans for the funeral and/or graveside service. The church organist, soloists and sound technicians are available upon request. The United Methodist Women will provide a family dinner for church members. For information concerning funerals, fees and the availability of the church facilities, contact the pastor Dr. Marvin Hudson or our administrative assistant, at the church, 405-275-1556. |
