Free BBQ on the Front Lawn of Wesley 6pm Wed. Aug 24th
 We will provide hot dogs, burgers, sides, drinks, a vegetarian option, and s’mores. It’s a great time to visit with other students, learn about what’s going on at Wesley and get fed. In case the weather is nasty, look for us in the Watseka Lounge. You can access Watseka from the courtyard doors on the Green St. side of the building or stay to the right after entering from the parking lot.

This Year at Wesley
This year we will be challenging each other to:
Look In- What’s my relationship with myself and my faith like? How is it with my soul? How am I REALLY doing? What areas of my life do I want to grow in? Looking into my faith, what do I want to learn more about?
Look Up- What’s my relationship with God like? Do I encounter God in worship and prayer? Where would I like to grow in this relationship?
Look Out- What’s my relationship like with others? Do I love my neighbor? How am I serving others? Do I reach out to welcome others?
Thanks for being a part of Wesley Foundation Weekly Email. We’ll try and keep you informed of everything that is going on. If you would like to sign up for other email lists like our Weekly International E Newsletter, Graduate Student List, Haunted House Volunteer List, simply click the “update profile” link at the bottom of any of our emails.
