Welcome to Moncton Wesleyan! Join us on Sunday at 10:30 am AST (pre-service starts at 10:15) for our teaching for this Sunday “Finding Wisdom.”

This service is live-streamed on Facebook and Youtube. And the sermons are also released as podcasts on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, and Spotify.

If you live here in the Greater Moncton area, you know that our covid cases have been rising. GNB has decided to have schools remotely, therefore to err on the side of safety and support, Kids World Elementary Closed, Kids Connect postponed, Youth online-only until GNB decides to return to in-person classes.

We continue to seek clarification from the province on how best to follow their guidelines for public health. The government continues to change things and we want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem, so we are working to interpret their guidelines.

Check out the details at mw.church/c19
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. Go to mw.church/groups to sign up for small groups.
At our Christmas Eve services, we made a huge announcement. The people of Moncton Wesleyan, as a display of love and generosity, gave $125,000 toward our Christmas Offering!

This will completely fund a new oxygen generating facility in Haiti to serve the Wesleyan Hospital in LaGonave and other surrounding hospitals. After the destruction of infrastructure in this year’s earthquake, this will save the lives of people with Covid, in intensive care, neo-natal units, surgical units, and more. We’re also funding a bathroom/shower facilities remodel at Naomi & Ruth (a local women’s crisis shelter) and more projects throughout 2022.

Thank you for making a difference in our region and around the world!

Celebrate Recovery will be meeting in person this week on Tuesday at 6:30 pm.  Celebrate Recovery meets every Tuesday in the Life Centre at the church.  We help people find freedom and healing from all types of hurts, habits, and hangups.  For more information follow our Facebook page at mw.church/cr or you may contact Loana Colpitts, Director of Recovery at lcolpitts@mw.church

Due to current government protocols in regards to schools, Kids’ World Elementary will be closed for the next three Sundays (Jan 9th, 16th, and 23rd). Preschool and Nursery will remain open. En lieu of these changes, we will be offering “Zoom With Pastor Liz!” To sign up for this 45 minute Zoom event, and for more details, please go to mw.church/kwzoom. We look forward to seeing you virtually!

Because of these same government protocols, our midweek program, Kids’ Connect,  will be postponing its launch. Stay tuned for further details regarding a startup date for this event.

Remember that you can find lots of online content on our Kids’ World Facebook page and our webpage, mwkidsworld.ca!

At MW Youth, our goal is to help students have a faith of their own that lasts. We do this by being a youth family that’s fun, safe & life changing! Join us every Wednesday from 7pm-8:30pm where a hundred of us hangout, have games & worship and learn more about God all while getting to know other teens and leaders! We’d love to see you there!

Head over to mw.church/youth to access our social media, sign up for our weekly email, and much more! Also feel free to reach out at students@mw.church!
