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

November Mission

Diaper Drive

To support young families with babies, we are collecting diapers of all sizes throughout the month of November. Please drop off your donations in the Narthex or Fellowship Hall on Sundays, or in the church office from Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

On Saturday, December 6, we will host a bundling party with a pasta dinner and Christmas caroling. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity for mission and fellowship!

Missions Update

From the Mission Team (10/31/2025):

Nice job! We were able to pack 126 lunches for Plainfield on Monday. Next week we will take a well-deserved break and will not pack again until November 10 with the help of Sharon’s small group.

We helped pack 271 lunches last Friday for food centers in Rahway and Elizabeth.

This week’s shopping list for South Plainfield Social Services: cookies, snacks, mayonnaise, jelly, ketchup, beef stew, pasta, Chef Boyardee, canned chicken breast, tuna, mac and cheese, applesauce, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, shelf-stable milk, and juice.

Can you believe it? We collected 542 pairs of socks and still have $500 to spend on more. All socks will be delivered to the Reformed Church in Highland Park along with warm hats. What a blessing to help them serve the homeless in their area.

Although I don’t have numbers yet from the benefit concert for “Connor’s Wings of Courage,” it was well attended, and I’m sure we’ll be able to contribute our matching $1,000 to this caring nonprofit. If you missed it, you missed great entertainment and delicious food. You can still donate through our church or at their website.

Our diaper drive has begun. Bins are set up in the Narthex and Fellowship Hall. We’ll wrap up with a diaper-bundling party and pasta dinner on December 6, when we’ll repackage all the diapers into smaller bundles for Maker’s Place. We’ve earmarked $1,000 in matching funds for your diaper donations.

Penina Otieno (many of you know her as Mary Mugambi’s mother), who serves on the board of the Nyagidha Education Center, will be here on November 16 to share updates from the school. I’m so excited to have her with us.
