UWF Motto: We believe that love in action can change the world.
On Sunday, 1/11/26, Rev. John Oda officiated the installation of your 2026 Wesley United Women in Faith Officers. With our focus on God’s love, compassion and peace, your UWF Officers pledged to fulfill their roles and responsibilities anad to uphold the UWF mission and purpose. With a enthusiastic “We do!”, our Wesley congregation family pledged to support and encourage our Wesley UWF.
The celebration continued with a bountiful Fellowship Salad Lunch. A perfect paring with our Fellowship Salad Lunch was all the friendly conversations and reconnecting with our Wesley family. So many choices of salads and desserts encouraged all to fill their plates and share the joy. All was given with love from our UWF and Wesley family and friends. The light and joy of the UWF recommitment to love in action was shining brightly and shared with all. Thank you.
