The history of every church is a history of the women who supported the fledgling endeavor through numerous church meals to raise funds, countless baked goods sold to fund missions, and endless creative activities designed to find a way to move the church - and its work - forward.
At the 1928 ddedication of the new sanctuary a special church meal was planned and offered at a price ($.35 a plate) so all members could attend. All funds went, of course, to reduce the debt on the new structure.
Sometimes the men also contributed to the overall effort through loading supplies, setting up and sometimes even cooking! A one point men served as 'singing waiters' to delight diners!

Over the course of time the kitchen became an integral aspect of Wesley life and ministry through church dinners, fundraisers, and special events. For its 100th celebration in 2010 WUMC/OKC put together a cook book (available for sale on the webpage).
