Welcome Weeks at Wesley

If the Wesley House could talk, it would have so much to say about the last two weeks in August. During this time we had the opportunity to meet new faces, welcome old ones, and invite all to come and check out our ministry. Through our many events, including Ultimate Sundae, Burgers & Bops, Couch-o-Rama, College Welcome Lunch, Tuesday Night Worship and Thursday Night Dinner & Small Groups, we have engaged with 175 new students so far, not including the hundreds of girls whom we also welcomed to the Wesley House during the week of sorority recruitment!
This time of year, campus ministry’s ‘recruitment season', is a pivotal period for us as we create the space for students to be introduced not only to Wesley but more importantly to Christ. Many freshmen are beginning to explore what they want college to look like for them spiritually and we desire more than ever to CONNECT with these students. Our mission at the U of A Wesley College Ministry is to live out John 15:16 when Jesus declares,
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit-fruit that will last.”
Pray with us as we hope for students to hear and know the truth that they have been chosen in Christ.
A big thanks to the 41 volunteers from our extended Wesley family who came, loved students and helped make our Welcome Weeks this year such a success!
