Welcome to Moncton Wesleyan!

We are so expectant for what God is going to do in our gathering this Sunday! This week we will be continuing with our Christmas series, “Unboxed”.

Watch previous sermons online here!


We will be collecting items for our Annual Christmas Stockings to help those in need in our city. To see a list of what to donate, please visit the Because Love bin in the Atrium. If you would like to help out, we will be assembling the stockings together on Tuesday, Dec 17th and Friday, Dec 20th at 6:30 pm in the After Caf, and handing out the stockings on Saturday, Dec 21st. To help in distributing the stockings, please visit at mw.church/donations and we’ll contact you with more details.

Christmas is traditionally a wonderful time for family and friends to all be together to share a festive dinner, however, for some people, this is not always possible. This year we don’t want anyone to be Home Alone on Christmas Day. If you will be Home Alone and would like to attend, please register at mw.church/homealone. If you would like to volunteer for this event, please come upstairs to room 222 immediately after the service today.

NEXT is happening on December 15th, after the service. It’s a casual meeting with our pastors and staff for newcomers to learn more about the church. Pizza, drinks and dessert are provided. Children are welcome. The event lasts for 45 minutes and is hosted upstairs in the Family Centre. Please register at mw.church/NEXT.

The Bible says baptism is an important step after becoming a Christian. It is the public declaration of your faith in Jesus. This January, we will be celebrating baptisms in one of the 10:30 worship gathering. To sign up, please visitmw.church/baptism.

Celebrate Recovery is for everyone! Addictions, loss, anxiety, abuse, depression or any life struggles. CR is a safe place to address your hurts, habits and hangups. Join us EVERY Tuesday night (even at Christmas) at 6:30pm in the Life Centre. On Christmas Eve, CR will be joining the church at the Christmas Eve Service at 6pm, then having a fellowship time in the Life Centre afterwards.

We would love to pray for you. If you have a prayer request to share be sure to write it on the Connection Card today, we will send your request along to our pastors and prayer team. Our prayer team is also available on Sunday Morning at the front after the service.
