Exodus ‘22
Last Sunday at 6:30 a.m., Exodus ’22 rolled out of our parking lot headed for Valdosta. Their first stop was at Park Avenue United Methodist to lead the 11:00 a.m. service. After worship and lunch, they headed south to Naples, Florida where they will spend the rest of the week. They have another service to lead at a church there along with a service at St. Mathew’s House, which is a ministry to homeless persons. In between these worship leadership responsibilities, they will have Bible study, do a lot of riding, eat well and spend time on the beach and around the pool. Exodus is described by current and former youth as the “best week of the year.”
This hybrid beach trip, choir tour, and retreat is a rich time of growth for our youth in their relationships with God and one another. I invite you to continue to pray for them this week. Pray for meaningful worship, good weather, safe travel, new friendships, and growing faith. We have included the names of the 60 youth and adults so that you can pray for them by name.
They will return to Macon on Saturday and will give leadership to both the 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services this Sunday. This is one of the highlights of the year. You don’t want to miss it! Let’s fill the church in recognition of the hours of practice they have invested in preparing. These youth have so many things that compete for their time and energy. We are so glad they have made church and their faith a priority. I know that you will be blessed by their music, their energy, and their enthusiasm. This is a great day to invite somebody to join you for worship.
Let’s keep praying, and I’ll see you on Sunday.
Peace,

Our Fun on the Farm Preschool Camp will take place June 27-30. Come down to the farm where we will be growin' in our friendship with Jesus! Then, at our elementary Summer Theatre Camp from July 18-22, our campers will learn songs and dialogue, build props and sets and perform the funny musical O Chicken of Little Faith. Great songs, fun dialogue, easy to learn, and impossible to forget! The cost for both of these camps is $75 each and you can sign up for them in Realm.

SUMMER AT WESLEY FOUNDATION |
|
Summer is the time when many students come home from college and find themselves missing the connections, community, and activities from school. It is also the time high school grads are getting ready for the new adventure to start in the Fall. Maybe this summer, though, could be more than waiting and boredom?
Each summer the Wesley of Macon gathers weekly in a space for young adults to have fun, explore scripture, and follow Jesus together. From meals and small groups, to river floats and beach trips, movies, and service opportunities there is something for everyone. While this started May 24th, it is never too late to join in on Tuesdays at 6:30 at 1280 College St.
We were never meant to navigate life (or the summer) on our own. Wesley of Macon is passionate about helping you build friendships where you grow, learn, and experience the love of God.
