Welcome to Moncton Wesleyan!

At this time of year, Christians around the world join together in Advent, a season of celebrating God’s loving act of taking on human flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, becoming as we are so that we may become as He is through salvation. A weary world, groaning under sin’s weight, rejoices at the release and redemption offered in Jesus’ sacrifice! Join us on December 27th in discussing important and timely Advent themes, including faith, joy, and peace. Invite friends, family, neighbours, and coworkers! 

We’re excited to once again have Sunday morning in-person church at 10:30am AST. This experience will have social distancing restrictions, and have limited ministries functioning. So that we can maintain safety for you and your family, we are asking that each person register for the Sunday service. Space is limited so please register early. Registrations open on Sundays for the coming week. We look forward to worshipping together on Sunday mornings with you. If you have any questions please email bkeith@mw.church. To register, go to mw.church/register! You can also watch our service online on our Facebook Page and Youtube Channel.

It’s always a fantastic time to join a small group! We have both in-person and online Zoom groups available for adults of all ages and stages, allowing us to continue to stay connected and grow together through these ever-changing times. Let’s lean into this season with creativity and innovation to make the most of a challenging situation. Click here to sign up for small groups.

 
Have you checked out our Moncton Wesleyan: Love & Be Loved Facebook Page? It’s open to all those in our MW family who are 18 years of age and older. Our mission is about making connections and building relationships within our church and supporting one another to make MW feel like a smaller church. This is a great platform for giving and receiving free gifts of tangible things, as well as time and talent and connecting with those within our Church. For more information, read the About section on the page. Please invite others from our church family, share, and post things you may no longer need that might bless others.

Thank you for helping us follow the NB Government’s mandated guidelines while entering the building during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wearing a mask: masks are mandatory at all times while in the church building. We are aware that masks are inconvenient and uncomfortable during worship services. However, we want to support our government’s guidelines.  
Hanging up your coats: in this season of low temperatures, please be aware we don’t have coat hangers to prevent the spread of COVID-19 from shared surfaces. 

Sunday morning Kids’ World is open! New regulations are in place, but we’re still providing a fun, safe, Christ-filled setting for your kids to learn and grow spiritually. This Sunday and next, everyone will go to adult church, and then we’ll be back on January 10th, 2021! You can register your children here as part of your own in-person registration. We look forward to having your kids with us in Kids’ World!

You can find us on our Facebook Page or our webapge. Feel free to send any questions to kidsworld@mw.church. 

Guess what?! God is moving in PRYME. About 160 different students have come through our doors or joined us online this Fall, 35 of which have been new guests. Six are getting baptised in January, and seven more have expressed interest! On top of all that, we’ve had 12 decisions for Jesus!!!

Our weekly Wednesday services are finished for 2020, but we look forward to seeing students again on January 13th, 2021.

If you’d like to be in the loop about what’s going on at PRYME, click here to sign up for our weekly update email or reach out at students@mw.church. Also be sure to check out our students’ Facebook page and parents’ Facebook group.
