Can you get your child baptized in a Methodist Church out of Wedlock?
Yes!
In the United Methodist Church, Baptism is understood as an action of God imparting grace (freely given love) to the one Baptized. United Methodists understand that God gives God's love to everyone. We call that prevenient grace, which is grace that goes before our awareness of or response to God's love. God acts first. Therefore, God's love is freely given regardless of a child's parents' marital status.
Baptism is also understood as taking place within the context of a community of faith where the community can commit to raising the Baptized child so that one day he/she will profess the faith for him/herself. As such, it is not appropriate practice for children to be baptized outside of the presence of the congregation. Some clergy might also say that a family must regularly attend church and be instructed in the meaning of Baptism before he/she is willing to Baptize a child. The stringency of clergy adhering to this last point is frequently lax.

PERSONAL ANSWER
I assume the questioner is in the United States, but I can only speak from my own experience here in Australia. In Australia, the Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church amalgamated to form the Uniting Church [equivalent to United Methodists in America], while the Church of England in Australia was renamed as the Anglican Church [or Episcopal Church in America].
I was a member of the Anglican Church here in Australia [or Episcopal Church in America] but left it and am now a member of a Baptist Church because of the stance of the other churches about Homosexuality. The Bible is against Homosexuality [but don't get me wrong: God is not against homosexuals who have repented.], so the issue of Homosexuality is a Theological Litmus test of whether or not one believes and obeys God. If you disobey or re-interpret God on this issue you will also do it on other theological issues as well.
In Australia, the Uniting Church accepted it, the Anglican Church neither accepted or rejected it but left it up to the individual, while the Baptist Church was definitely against it. Accordingly, to answer the specific question, the United Methodists are closer theologically to the Episcopal Church, but it is only a matter of degree: I would personally recommend people leave both.
Why do AME church have a love feast?
Scripturally, the Love Feast is alluded to in 1 Corinthians 11:17-34. It probably began as a simple, but full meal, shared with people of lesser means. The Moravians reintroduced it in ritual form in the 18thcentury. John Wesley, impressed with the deep spirituality of the Moravians, introduced it to Methodism. The meal was followed by testimonies, letters read from missionaries, and exhortations. In the early days here in the United States, with the shortage of ordained clergy, there were few opportunities for faith adherents to receive the Lord's Supper; the Love Feast became an important feature of congregational life. It was common practice for Methodists to perform this ritual once per month, usually the week preceding the celebration of the Holy Communion. In some congregational situations, participation in the Love Feast was mandatory if the member intended to receive the Lord's Supper. A Steward would distribute tokens to each Love Feast participant as an indication (at least in a symbolic way) that the bearer of the token was "in love and charity (harmony) with his/her neighbor, intending to live a new life, following the commandments of Almighty God." The long and short of this practice was no token, no communion. The simple, but deeper, meaning of the Love Feast still holds relevance today: Believers who are living, serving and worshiping together are to be in love and harmony with one another; sharing cool water and a morsel of bread as an indication of our selfless, neighborly love as unto Christ.
