Father’s Day Service - “Our Heroes” with Melba Evans
Who helped shape the person you are today?
On Father's Day, we often think about fathers and father figures, but the people who guide us, teach us, and inspire us come in many forms. They may be parents, grandparents, siblings, teachers, mentors, friends, or even public figures whose example helped us navigate life's challenges.
This Sunday, Melba Evans invites us into a special open mic service centered on the people we consider our heroes. Together, we'll reflect on those who offered wisdom, encouragement, love, and support, whether through a single life-changing lesson or years of steady presence.
For some, these heroes may be fathers, brothers, uncles, or coaches. For others, they may be mothers, grandmothers, teachers, or friends who stepped into roles they never expected to fill. We recognize that family is created through care and connection, and that the people who guide us often come from places we least expect.
As we gather, we'll share stories, honor those who helped light our path, and celebrate the many ways love, mentorship, and community shape our lives.
Join us as we reflect on the people who have inspired us, challenged us, and helped us become who we are today.

Wedgewood Service Day with the Laundry Project
Instead of our traditional Sunday Service on June 28, Wedgewood will once again partner with Current Initiatives for a community Service Day through the Laundry Project.
From 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, we’ll gather at a local laundromat to help provide free laundry services, hospitality, and encouragement to families and neighbors in our community. The Laundry Project helps restore dignity and relieve financial stress by covering the cost of washing clothes and linens for individuals and families who need support.
This is one of the most meaningful ways we live out our values as a social justice community: showing up, building relationships, and caring for one another in tangible ways.
Volunteer opportunities include:
• Greeting guests and offering hospitality
• Helping distribute supplies
• Assisting with laundry cards and machines
• Creating a welcoming, affirming environment for everyone who walks through the door
All volunteers must sign up in advance here:​​​
​We’re also collecting donations of:
• Laundry detergent (pods, liquid, or powder)
• Fabric softener, bleach, stain remover
• Reusable laundry bags and 1-gallon Ziplocks
• Hand sanitizer
• Coloring books and crayons
Financial gifts are also welcome. Just $10 can cover a full wash and two dryer cycles for a family.
After the project, we’ll gather for lunch nearby for fellowship and reflection. Location TBD.
