Sunday Worship Sundays at 9:30am, Traditional Service A wonderful worship experience grounded in our historic traditions. Trumpets, organ, choir, formal liturgy and meaningful sermons help shape this service. Students actively participate in all areas of this worship service. Sundays at 11:15am, Contemporary Worship Enagaing music, message, guitars, drums, keyboard, and praise singers help set the stage for this wonderfully spirit filled informal service Sun 1:00pm Korean Language Worship by Jesus Love United Methodist Church Worship Leadership Opportunities 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. Midweek Student Worship 7:30pm Wed. Aug 24th Right after our BBQ you are welcome to join us for our the first Midweek Worship of the semester. It is an informal, student-led worship that provides a spiritual lift midway through the week. Time for singing and praying, time for reflection and contemplation and time with God and friends. We start in Watseka Lounge and then move upstairs into the Great Hall. On Aug 26th it is at 7:30pm. The rest of the semester we will worship starting at 8:30pm. Friday Etc. "Hot Spot" at 7:30pm in our Coffeehouse. Looking for a place to hangout on a Friday night? Join us for fair-trade coffee and tea, snacks, live entertainment, pool, TV and fun. We're really excited about kicking off this new time in our old coffeehouse. Everyone is welcome to come by for a few minutes or until we close at Midnight.
