Second Annual Harvest Festival – Sunday October 16^th

Last year we had a fabulous Harvest Festival at the Wesleyville Church in October and this year’s event is promising to be even better.  Bring something and join the Pot luck lunch at 12:30 and then an afternoon of music, games, exploration and story-telling.  Shape-note singing and buskers are already lined up. Why don’t you consider participating? Contact Roz Farber at (905) 885-1575 for details.

Time Flies for our Chair

How time flies when you're busy. This could be the FOWV motto as it seems just yesterday was spring.

This summer has seen the restoration of the church's stained glass windows and installation of the replacement threshold at the front entrance. At present painting of the exterior woodwork, metal roof and some interior woodwork is taking place. Before the snow flies, the brick clad basement entrance will be restored and for the not too distant future, plans are afoot to make the building accessible by means of an entrance and washrooms.

It is our plan to have the building used for community events - the first rental of the building by Herb Jung for a play reading and showing of his paintings successfully took place in September.

Our Jazz under the Stars with Michael Francis not only presented us with wonderful music but an opportunity to meet more supporters.

Yuletide Caroling at the Church

Mark your calendar now. At 7 p.m. on December 4^th join our new festive season event. Carol singing, cider, candles and traditional dress if you wish.
