Update December 11th 2025

This Sunday will be the 3rd Sunday of Advent

It is with much sadness that we share with you that our sister in Christ and faithful disciple of Christ, Marilyn Mugno went to be with the Lord.

Christmas Flower Forms are at the Connect Desk! Flowers are $13.00 each. Please fill out the form and leave it on the office desk or in the office's mailbox! Deadline for Flowers is December 17th!

Let’s Keep The Office Clutter-Free

Friendly reminder to keep things running smoothly:

We have many rooms with cabinets and plenty of storage options available—please make use of those spaces when finding a home for your team’s items.

If something needs to be stored and you’re unsure where it should go, just check in with me first.

If I see abandoned supplies, or rogue boxes… they will be thrown away.

📣 New App: John Wesley Falmouth Connects! 📱

We’re excited to launch our new app, John Wesley Falmouth Connects, created to help our church family stay connected and grow closer.

This Sunday, please bring your Apple ID and password so we can help you download the app. Lianne will be at the Connect Desk in the Fellowship Hall after service to assist anyone who needs help getting set up.

2026 Pledge Envelopes are Ready for Pick-Up:

If you requested a book of pledge envelopes for 2026,
please pick it up at the table in the narthex.

It has your name written on the cover of the book.

If you have any questions, please contact Matt O’Connor at oconnorscapecod@gmail.com.

Our team for the “Come to the Table” breakfast for our unhoused neighbors needs people to help in the kitchen with light prep, coffee, setting up chairs, and offering a warm welcome. No heavy lifting. If you can help any Monday, or want to learn more, please let Bonnie Valade or Jennifer Linton know. Your presence really does make a difference

The Outreach Team has invited Dr. Bella to speak this Sunday during the service about on her work as a missionary.

Experience! Christmas Crafts — Your Help Needed!

This year, we’re adding something extra special to our Christmas season—and we need your hands and hearts to make it happen.

✨ Angels Are Calling… Hymnal Angels!

We’ll be transforming old hymnals into heartfelt keepsakes to share with visitors at the Experience! Christmas event.

All you need to do is fold the pages—Amy will take care of the painting, and the children will help with assembly. A true team effort!

✨ Light the Path — Create a Christmas Luminary

Help us create a glowing luminary walkway for Christmas Eve! Write your Christmas Wish or Christmas Prayer, decorate a luminary bag, and be part of “Lighting the Path” that leads to our front door.

A craft table will be set up in the back of the Fellowship Hall beginning December 14, and it will remain available for anyone stopping by the church. We hope every person who enters our doors in the coming days feels welcome to pause, create, and share in the joy.

It’s Staff Appreciation Time!
