Wesley UMC - Baton Rouge
Share
We, the Wesley United Methodist Church family, are excited to be ministers of God’s mercy and grace in the heart of downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
We've been here since 1866. But today there’s a fresh movement of God’s Holy Spirit in our midst, invigorating us as we grow disciples, care for our city, and share the redemptive, transforming love of Christ with a changing world. We are growing and gaining wisdom and divine favor in our daily walk together. We hope you will visit, share in the Wesley experience, and become a part of all that we seek to do in serving and glorifying God through our various ministries.

It is with heartfelt sympathy that we share the funeral arrangements for our beloved Sister Lilly Ennis.
Please keep the Ennis family and all who knew and loved her lifted in prayer during this difficult time. May God surround them with His comfort, strength, and peace in the days ahead.
Funeral arrangement details are included in the flyer.
