Outreach Ministry Activities

Faith Feast

Honor Our Seniors Luncheon

Honor Our Seniors Luncheon

 Our church joins other churches in providing a gratis lunch for the  community of Hampstead.  We are scheduled to provide lunch and a time of fellowship to 15 to 35 guests seven times a year.  We welcome all,  seniors as well as parents with young children.  For some the meal is  important, others are fed by the fellowship.  The cost of the meal is covered by donations from Wesley congregants.  Dedicated volunteers feel  their lives are enriched by those we serve.

 We  are very fortunate in our church to have so many members who have contributed to the community for many years.  Periodically we plan a  potluck luncheon to honor those in our church who are 80 years and older. The entire church is invited to help us celebrate these members. 

Operation Christmas Child

Honor Our Seniors Luncheon

Operation Christmas Child

 Each Fall, we support the Operation Christmas Child program that is project of Samaritan’s Purse. We provide shoes boxes for the members of the  congregation to fill with small gifts along with $7 for postage to ship  the boxes. The Samaritan’s Purse distributes the boxes worldwide to children as they listen to a Gospel message. This gives us all an  opportunity to spread God’s love to children in another part of the world. Church members with children are encouraged to have their children assist with filling the boxes. This gives them a chance to be 

part of this evangelism. 

Christmas Families

Compassion International

Operation Christmas Child

 We  are very blessed with many gifts in our church. In early November we  “adopt” a few families to support for Christmas. We get information from  local organizations and make out gift tags that we hang on a tree at  the back of the church. The tags have specific gifts that can be purchased by church members and wrapped. The gifts come back to the  church and someone on the committee delivers them. This is another  opportunity to involve children in picking out presents to give to  someone with no expectation of a return gift. It is our way of reaching  out to the community. 

Alpha Pregnancy Center

Compassion International

Compassion International

 This is an organization that helps support girls and women who are dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. They offer testing, support, counseling and help to provide alternatives to abortion. Each year they  provide baby bottles that can be filled with a check, bills or coins to  help support their program. You will see the bottles in the back of the church around February.  Once you have filled one bring it back and take  another if you would like. We will deliver the bottles back to the center.

We sponsor two children on a monthly basis. We have church members writing to them while we provide the financial support


Periodically, we celebrate Compassion Sunday. Many people in our church sponsor Compassion Children. These Sundays  provide an overview of the program and give others in the church an  opportunity to select a child to sponsor.

 This is a Christian  organization based in Westminster that reaches out to those in crisis in  Carroll County. Their mission is to show Christ’s love through  supporting people in their time of need and encouraging pathways to  self-sufficiency. We support them in different ways:


We provide a quarterly donation to the organization  


Spiritual  Easter Baskets - in early spring we set out plastic Easter eggs in the pews of the church. We ask that people place coins or bills in the eggs.  We then use that money to purchase supplies for the Spiritual Easter  baskets. We often recruit one of the Youth Sunday School classes to help  us to fill the baskets.

 This  is an organization that supports people in need in our area. It was  originally founded by local churches and is still supported by those  community churches as well as other organizations. We support NESAP in  several ways:


Food Donation Box: located in the front of the Fellowship hall. Those who would like to  donate food to NESAP but have difficulty getting there can leave their  donations in the box. It is then delivered to NESAP.


Quarterly Donation: We use some of our funds to provide NESAP with a check quarterly to help support their work in the community.  


Back to School Program: This  program actually starts in the late spring and early summer since NESAP  begins distributing school supplies and support in August. We contact  them to help determine what their greatest needs are and then provide  the church members an opportunity to purchase items or provide financial  support for the purchase of items.  

Fun Fundraisers

Fun Fundraisers

Cookie Walk: The  Cookie Walk is a twist on a bake sale. We usually hold it on the day of  the Christmas Cantata. Cookies are provided by anyone who likes to  bake. The cookies are displayed around the room and people are  encouraged to select mixed dozens of cookies that they then purchase  from the Committee.


Soup and Bread Sale: Once a year, usually in early November, we have a fundraiser where  volunteers prepare homemade soup and bread for members of the church to  purchase. It is always just in time for the cool weather.  


Baked Potato Luncheon: This  luncheon is both a fundraiser for the group and a chance for the church  family to share a meal together. The Outreach Committee prepares a meal  of baked potatoes with toppings and salad for a reasonable price.  


Restaurant Fundraiser: We  sometimes have local restaurant fundraiser where we get a percentage of  the profit for a particular night when people register as participants.
