Gentlemen, the Executive Board of the WV United Methodist Men is currently accepting monetary donations for the purchase of two Society of John Wesley Awards. One award will be presented to our esteemed Rev. George Webb following the Annual Conference, with another awardee to be determined at a later date.
The Society of John Wesley is a fellowship of individuals committed to the support and expansion of United Methodist Men’s ministries.
Fellows in the Society of John Wesley are known by their witness, vision and stewardship that enhance and strengthen the mission and ministry of the church. The society was created by the United Methodist Men Foundation to promote greater awareness of the Christian principles and practices embodied in the church.
Established in 1982 by the directors of the United Methodist Men Foundation, the Society of John Wesley is a means of recognizing those who exemplify the characteristics of John Wesley.
These characteristics are best seen through service to fellow men and women and commitment to the teachings of the Christian faith.
John Wesley called together such people to form “The Holy Club.” These men with varying talents and skills contributed to the rapid growth and spiritual enrichment of early Methodism.
It is anticipated that some members would endorse George Webb for the John Wesley Award. To date, slightly over $200.00 has been raised for Rev. Webb award, yet a total of $1,000.00 is needed to purchase the plaque.
Should any of you wish to contribute to Rev. Webb's plaque fund, kindly contact Don Davis, Treasur at gmaudie@frontiernet.net or contact him at (304) 328-5491 to donate.
George Webb has not been included in this mailing. He is unaware of the award he is receiving, and we intend to maintain the surprise.
