Announcements

IF YOU ARE COMING TO WORK OR VOLUNTEER FOR CHRISTMAS FAIR PLEASE PARK IN BACK PARKING LOT ON THE LAWN. THANK YOU!!!!!!

The JWUMC Social Justice Team is excited to announce a new partnership with a local non-profit, Family Table Collaborative. We will be collaborating to bring fresh, chef-prepared meals to people who need them in Falmouth on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month. At the same time we'll be helping rescue tons of surplus food from landfills and compost piles each year. 


We need 2-3 volunteers from John Wesley at each distribution time, to help direct traffic through our parking lot. 


To volunteer during distribution, please visit the Sign up Genius page here: signupgenius.com.



To learn how you or someone you know can sign up for meals, visit familytablecollaborative.org and click on "Request a Meal" at the top of the page.


You can also learn more about this new community partner through their website. This new venture is an exciting opportunity to serve as Jesus' hands in our community.

DRESS A LIVE DOLL


The holidays are coming soon and it’s almost time for Dress A Live Doll at church! This year we have 6 children and one teenager from the Salvation Army that need Christmas gifts.


Dress A Live Doll will continue for the rest of the month of November. Marie and I will be available before and after church service to help with selections and collecting any gifts from you.


All clothes and toys must be at church by Sunday, Nov. 29. No gift wrapping is needed.


Because of your help, these children will wake up Christmas morning with amazing gifts enjoying Christmas magic!


Christmas Blessings,

Nancy Peterson

Lenten Booklet


The Tuesday morning Bible/book study group would like to work on preparing a John Wesley United Methodist Church booklet to share with the church and more. We thought it would be nice to have a JWUMC personalized, inspirational booklet to help prepare us for the season of lent. It would be great to include devotions - like “The Daily Bread”, recipes, poetry, favorite scriptures, drawings, brief inspirational stories, etc. Additional details will be coming. 


Please text it to Karen or email them to nerakpmac13@gmail.com. You can also place them in the card ministry mailbox across from the office.

TUESDAY Morning Book Study Series

Almost Christmas: A Wesleyan Advent Experience



Join us at 10:30AM, Tuesdays in the Fitzgerald Room

November 24th-December22nd


How can we move from "almost" to "altogether?"


The Tuesday morning study group will be reading "Almost Christmas: A Wesleyan Advent Experience" by Magrey deVega, Ingrid McIntyre, April Casperson, and Matt Rawle. "The authors break down the barriers that prevent us from experiencing 'altogether' love, hope, joy, and peace in Christ in our lives and in the world around us. They demonstrate the promises God offers to us that makes those longings a reality, inviting us to claim those promises for ourselves this Advent and celebrate an altogether Christmas."



The study starts on November 24 at 10:30 AM in the Fitzgerald Room.


See Betty to obtain a copy of the book already ordered.

WEDNESDAY Afternoon

Advent Bible Study Series

3-4pm in the Library



"Advent Can Still Change the World” 

Begins Wednesday, November 25 | 4-Week Study

The Christmas story is so familiar that we can sometimes miss just how surprising—and even radical—it really is. This Advent, join us for a four-week Bible study as we take a fresh look at the birth of Jesus through the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. We'll explore the historical world of the first Christmas, the unexpected people in Jesus' family story, and the surprising ways God enters our world. We'll discover how understanding Christmas in its original setting can challenge our assumptions, deepen our faith, and change how we celebrate Christmas today.

We invite you to rediscover the Christmas story—and why it still matters.
