Children's Sunday School and Church  (original)  pBack-to-Top
 

This is the backbone of our education programs for children of all ages. We are in need of teachers, assistant teachers, and substitute teachers. Please contact the Sunday School Superintendent, Kathleen Smith.  During the summer months when regular Sunday School is out we have children's church during the middle service. Children up to 4th grade are invited to the fellowship hall for singing, skits, and stories. If you are interested in helping with children's church please contact Melanie Nichols @ 697-1274. 

Visitation Team  (10/02/07)  pBack-to-Top

Our team recognizes that the church is the people of God doing the work of God. We offer ministry to the members of our congregation and extended family who are physically removed so that they feel spiritually connected with the Body of Christ.  We provide monthly home visits, soup delivery, hospital visits, transportation to appointments as needed, delivery of quilts/prayer shawls, weekly homebound newsletter, delivery of flowers, and serving communion.  If you are interested in this for yourself or someone you know, please call the Church Office @ 697-6651.  Click HERE for details. 

Extended Table Program Ministry   (10/22/07) pBack-to-Top
 

The Extended Table Program connects our Communion Table to our fellowship with food events of this congregation. Events may include Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner, Easter Sunday Sunrise Breakfast, the Church Picnic, Golf Tournament Banquet, special cake, punch and cookie receptions, new Comfirmands dinner and Pastor Appreciation Sunday. You can pick and choose among these events and special one-time gatherings that interest you or when you have the time to participate. The talents needed vary as well, ranging from providing baked goods or a covered dish, setting up or serving cake and punch, clean-up, scrambling eggs or flipping pancakes on the grill, ordering food, or coordinating a banquet dinner/picnic. “Many hands make light work” - won’t you lend yours to help set our Extended Table of fellowship? Contact the church office to volunteer, 697-6651.

Bereavement Reception Team  (6/19/08)  pBack-to-Top

 
The Bereavement Reception Team is one of those behind the scenes ministries here at Wyoming UMC … until there is a death. It is then that this small group of ladies, headed by co-chairs Ann Anderson and Elaine Bilow, spring into action to bring comfort to family and friends in the form of food and fellowship. This team’s ministry, as approved by the Church Council, is offered freely, at the discretion of the senior pastor, to church members and to those who are regular attendees. Monetary donations are accepted by simply writing ‘BRT’ on the memo line, but are strictly optional.

We offer two different reception options: a lunch meal or cookies and punch. The lunch meal consists of ham, potato salad, coleslaw, rolls, coffee and iced tea, with cake for dessert. We set up, serve, and clean up. We also package up any/all leftovers for the family to disperse as they see fit. With the exception of the cakes and cookies, all food is purchased either at Sam’s Club or at Witt Bros. Market. If you prefer not to take advantage of one of these options, you may arrange with the church office to use Fellowship Hall totally on your own. This way you provide your own food and beverage, and are responsible for the care of the hall. The BRT is here for you when you need us, but we most definitely prefer to remain behind the scenes.

Vacation Bible School  (original)  pBack-to-Top
 

VBS is offered every June for a week. It is held in the mornings for children ages 4 years to 6th grade and is a time of fun with singing, crafts, games, dramas, Bible stories, and more. During the week we have over 200 children exposed to the word of God. There is a great need for adult volunteers to teach, prepare snacks, lead singing, organize games, help with crafts, work in the nursery, work registration, etc. If interested in helping with VBS please call the church office @ 697-6651.  Click Signup Form to enroll for VBS from June 16-20, 2008.

We meet the last Thursday of the month starting in January from 10:00am to 3:00pm. See the bulletin for the November meeting – no meeting in December. Bring a bag lunch.

Knitting to Nurture  (original)  pBack-to-Top
 

This group of beginning and experienced knitters meets at the church on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month from 10:30am to 12:30pm, September through May.  The primary purpose is to knit "prayer shawls" that are given to members of the church and community as tangible evidence of our prayers and caring for them.  We also have other projects that touch the lives of those in need at the local, national, and international level.  Join us to fellowship, pray and bless others with the work of our hands. 

Friday Help Team and Newsletter Team  (original)  pBack-to-Top
 

Friday is the busiest day of the week in the church office.  With three and sometimes four services over the weekend there is a lot of copying and folding to be done.  The monthly newsletter is another massive undertaking.  With the newsletter reaching 14 pages, there is a lot of copying, stapling, and folding to do.  Not to mention affixing address labels and getting the whole thing to the post office.  Contact the Church Office if you would like to help either of these needs. 

New Member Mentoring  (original)  pBack-to-Top
 

This ministry provides support to our newest members by assisting them in connecting with the church.  We hope this will enable new members to more quickly feel a part of the family here at Wyoming and to find their places in the life and ministry of Wyoming UMC. 

Technology Team   (10/14/07)  pBack-to-Top
 

The Technology Team provides support ranging from consulting with other teams to actually carrying out various technology related tasks. The scope may include any or all aspects of the full life cycle of technologies such as audio/video, organ, telephone/voice, security, and computing.
