The Wesley UWF held their annual Rummage Sale, June 8th, 2024. Folks got to clean out their closets, the surrounding community (many low income) received wonderful bargains, the proceeds went to missions, and multiple organizations benefited from the leftovers.
It takes a village to hold a Rummage Sale. The Boy Scouts, our Wesley Men, Youth Group, & others in the community. We are always so grateful & thankful for their help!

Missionary Katherine Parker Comes to
Wesley UMC on August 21, 2023 for a workshop
Sponsored by our Wesley UWF
The Wesley UWF hosted a presentation and workshop with Katherine Parker. She has been a missionary in Nepal for the past 10 years and is part of the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church. She is also an advisor with the United Mission to Nepal. Katherine's main focus are: Adolescent empowerment, including sexual reproductive health and rights, mental health, menstrual hygiene, dignity for migrant workers, and water, sanitation and hygiene.
The workshop portion of the event involved making reusable/washable menstrual products for women & girls. Modern products can be purchased in Nepal, but they are very expensive. The workshop attendees sewed & assembled washable panty-shields with leak-proof barrier and insert liners that can be changed out as needed....an environmentally friendly idea. 41 shields and 78 liners were produced.
