WYOMING PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

All women of Wyoming Church are invited to a SoulFood event!

Some of the women met this week to plan some events and they are enthusiastic about re-starting the women’s group.

You are invited to our re-start event on Saturday, June 13th.

We will visit the Grounds for Sculpture and then have lunch at their restaurant. We will meet at Wyoming Church at 11:00 am (after choir) and drive to the Grounds.

SoulFood is a group for all the women of Wyoming.

Our purpose: SoulFood provides a place to feed your soul with interesting conversation, surprisingly similar discoveries about each other, and pure fun.  We believe that a brimming soul brings warmth and emotion to any group.  We celebrate our differences in age and background as we grow in Christian fellowship by being active participants in our church and community.

We have to make reservations, so please contact Berit Peri at beritperi@hotmail.com or Ann Schwenke at ann.schwenke@gmail.com no later than May 10th and let us know if you will be attending.

Can’t wait to see all of you, Berit and Ann

Wyoming Church will be hosting 2 Families. Donations end on Sunday, May 17.  

While we no longer have families staying with us at our church, we do provide food that sustains them in their site.

What is needed now is food, and here’s where you can help.  

The Mission Committee has established a Sign up Genius to show what the families will need during our hosting week.  Please click on the link visit the site and select the items you wish to provide.

Please label these items for “Family Promise” and drop them off in Fellowship Hall by Sunday 5/17

If you don’t have time to shop, you can send a check to WPC or give online and designate it for our Family Promise Hosting Week.

2026 Per Capita Apportionment:

Per Capita Apportionment is the system by which each Presbyterian provides his/her fair share of the cost of being part of the larger Presbyterian community. Through Apportionment, all Presbyterians share equally in the cost of providing the staff, expenses, and programs of our church’s governing bodies (the Presbytery of Northeast New Jersey, the Synod of the Northeast, and the national General Assembly).

In the course of each year, we ask each confirmed member of our church to contribute Per Capita Apportionment, which for 2026 is $37.00 per confirmed member. So, for instance, a family of 3 confirmed members would contribute $37 x 3 or $111.

Here are some ways to contribute to the Per Capita Apportionment:

1- You may pay your/your family’s apportionment via:
https://wyomingpresbyterian.org/giving/  Then “click” on the GREEN VANCO block link. After, you’ll see the Apportionment section down on the page.

2 – Or go on the Giving Page and click on the GREEN VANCO block.

3 – You may also use one of the blue Per Capita Apportionment envelopes that was mailed to you. Please make your check payable to Wyoming Presbyterian Church and put the envelope in the offering plate on Sunday or mail it to the church office.

Thank you!
