Welcome to Moncton Wesleyan!

This Sunday is Remembrance Day. We will be honouring the soldiers who fought on behalf of our country, as well as Jesus who made the ultimate sacrifice for us.

Watch previous sermons online here!


Purity is a free, city-wide event for all men over 17 who are struggling with or interested in the topic of sex addiction and pornography. This will be a closed unrecorded event due to the sensitivity of the content being discussed. It will be on November 17 at 9am at SunnyBrae Baptist Church.


NEXT will be happening November 18 after the service! This is a chance for newcomers to meet pastors, staff, and to learn about next steps in your faith journey. Pizza, drinks, and dessert are provided. Children are welcome. The event lasts for 45 minutes, and it is hosted upstairs in the Family Centre.


Thanks to those who have picked up a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child! This coming week, November 12-17 is the collection week. Please drop off your shoebox between 8:30am-7:30pm. Thanks for investing in children around the world!


The Women Arise Ladies tea is on Sunday November 25th, at 6:30pm. There will be a time of Christmas music, fellowship and sweets. Tickets are free, but bring mitts, a scarf or hat for us to donate to those in need. Please register at the information desk in the atrium, before or after the service by November 20, if you plan to come.


Jingle Bell Rock is quickly approaching on December 1 & 2! We are gearing up with extra fun for you to invite your friends and family to. Be sure to pick up postcard invitations in the atrium and spread the word online!


There are many opportunities to give during the Christmas season here at Moncton Wesleyan. We have Christmas sponsorship, giving to those in need; Christmas volunteering for those who are looking to help out; donations for harvest house; and are planning to serve those who are by themselves on Christmas day by having an event here at the church. For more details on these events check the printed upcoming, check your weekly email, or check out below!


We wish to come alongside those within our church family who may need help for the Christmas Season. To help, write an option on your Connection Card or go to mw.church/sponsor:

#1 – I love to give (a donation for sponsoring a family)

#2 – I love to shop (time to shop for a sponsored family)

#3 – I love to shop & give (full sponsor of a family in need)

Please contact Joyce by December 1! Thank you from the Care Department!
