Wesley Week!

Happy first day of classes everyone!

Wesley Week kicks off today, with something to do each day of the week. If you join us on Wed, Thurs, or Fri...get a free t-shirt!

MUSIC MONDAY -- Come and jam with us, bring your instrument and join in, or just hang out and listen. 11:30a-1p

TASTY TUESDAY -- Free lunch begins! 11a-1p

WORSHIP WEDNESDAY -- Take a midweek break to worship with us at 12:30p

THIRSTY THURSDAY -- Come sample one of our many NEW coffee flavors, or enjoy apple cider, hot chocolate, water, and coke from 1p-3p

FLOAT FRIDAY -- Come float on the river with us while enjoying an ice cream float. Meet at the Wesley to carpool at 4p. We'll finish on the river around 6p, so bring some cash to have dinner on the way back.

SMALL GROUP signup is this week and next week, with groups beginning the week after Labor Day. Look for a signup sheet.

THE WESLEY is located between Cardinal Village III & the Dining Hall--see you this week!

Fall 2009 begins in a week!

This update went out yesterday to all our Facebook fans, and I hope that it will be embraced by all who want to support what we're doing here.

To all our students & supporters:

The new academic year begins shortly! New students move in a week from today, then the returning students, and classes get started on Monday 8/24. We'd like to share with you a few ways to help.

First, please pray! Pray for the new students who are coming to college and leaving their old lives behind; pray for the returning ones who are looking to make progress in their education. Pray for faculty, staff, and administrators who are working to ensure students can grow in knowledge. Pray for the Wesley to connect heads, hearts, and hands for God's kingdom. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide and empower us all.

Second, if you are a student, please commit to participating in the ministry of the Wesley. If you're returning, you can join us at 8 am in the Cardinal Village parking lot to help move in new students. And everyone is invited to come to one of our daily "first week" events. We'll also be signing up for small groups that'll begin after Labor Day.

2.5: If you aren't a student (pastors, congregation members, etc.), please encourage those you know to be involved in the Wesley Student Center (or a campus ministry wherever they're going to school). Pastors will get more information about the Wesley at our District Preachers' Meeting on the 20th.

Finally, it takes many resources to feed, equip, disciple, assist in the event of a crisis, and deploy students for ministry. If you will answer your baptismal calling by dedicating your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and/or your witness to the work that Jesus Christ is doing at the Wesley, please call Josh at 409.880.7252.

May God richly bless us through this season ahead!

Grace and Peace,
Josh+
