Wesley United Methodist Church

The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with Holy Week: a remembrance of Jesus' final and most difficult days of His ministry as He moves toward His sacrifice upon the cross. Remembering these final days of Jesus' life helps us to more deeply feel and appreciate the joy and hope of the resurrection of Christ which is celebrated on Easter! Please join us for these meaningful worship services and activities.
