A CHURCH THAT SHOWS UP

“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” - John 13:35

You are invited to make an impact!

We believe God calls each of us to change the world for the better! At Wesley, we don’t sit on the sidelines. We get out of our seats and into the streets to care for our neighbors. Join a community outreach and serve the hungry and homeless in NJ. Or go global and help with Nyagidha Education Center in Kenya on the other side of the world.

Weekly Mission

Ending Local Hunger.

We are big on feeding people. We collect food for South Plainfield Social Services and partner with New Dover UMC in Edison to make hundreds of sandwiches and collect food for St. Joseph's Food Distribution Center in Elizabeth every Friday. Needed items include pasta, snacks, crackers, cookies, beef stew, tuna, shampoo, cream rinse, Chef Boyardee, sides, potatoes, fruits, oil, and flour.

For more information, click here. To join the Bread Breakers team (Monday night @ 7:00 PM) or arrange drop offs through Wesley Church, please contact Connie Palmer.

We delivered more than 100,000 sandwiches
since the pandemic.

Monthly Missions

January Mission

Pajama Program

Our January Mission campaign supports the Pajama Program by collecting warm, new pajamas and new books for children up to age 12 who are facing difficult circumstances, including financial hardship, foster care, or family separation. A cozy pair of pajamas can help children get the rest they need, and books encourage a love of reading that supports learning and growth. These simple gifts can shape healthy bedtime routines and bring comfort and stability to a child’s life. Donation bins are located in the Narthex and Fellowship Hall, and we are grateful for your care and generosity.

Missions Update

From the Mission Team (1/2/2026):

Another year that we can be proud of comes to a close, and we are ready to begin again with love in our hearts and purpose in our souls for a new year.

We will be packing lunches for Plainfield on Monday, January 5th. So bring those sandwiches!

We will also be back at New Dover on Friday, January 9th to pack for the St. Joseph’s Food Distribution Center in Elizabeth.

We will be returning to the South Plainfield Services Department on Thursday, January 8th to help them refill their shelves after the holidays. Though we do not have an official list, we know they are always in need of canned meats, sides, cookies, paper goods, cleaning supplies, and personal hygiene products.

Thank you for your generous Christmas offering totaling $3,612.00. With the matching $700.00 from the 2nd Mile Mission Fund, we are able to donate $4,312 to UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief), designated for relief from Hurricane Melissa.

Bins have been set up in Fellowship Hall and the narthex to receive donations of new pajamas and books for children ages birth to 12. Your donations will serve the Pajama Program, which fosters care for children in low-income families, foster care, and children living in stressful situations. The bins will be available throughout the month of January.
