| | Super Bowl Chili Cook-Off! | |
As our tradition, we will again be having our annual Chili Cook-Off and Super Bowl party this Sunday, February 6th. Bring your best batch of chili because we will be voting for the top three chilis to win the chili champion apron as well as gift cards to Chili's restaurant. We will also be showing Super Bowl XLV between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers on the big screen. Kickoff is at 5:29 central time, but if you're bringing chili, please be in Watseka Lounge by 5pm. This is the perfect opportunity to get your friends together for free food and to watch one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year! |
| 24 Hour Prayer Room | | We will be having a 24 hour prayer room from 7pm Friday, February 11 to 7pm Saturday, February 12. This is an excellent opportunity to set aside an hour of your day to spend some time alone with God in prayer. A sign-up sheet is posted outside of the PM office at Wesley if you are interested in joining us in this awesome experience. More information on the way! |
| Student Council Meeting | | Do you want to know what activities are coming up? Are you interested in planning what goes on at Wesley? We will be having our first student council meeting of the semester next week. The tentative meeting date and time will be Monday at 7pm in Etc. If this changes, another email will be sent out. Anyone is welcome to come to this meeting. |

| Mission trip opportunities to Haiti | |
Rev. Matt Henson of Living the Adventure Ministries has made several trips to Haiti.
"On my most recent trip to Haiti, we went up to an overlook area above Port au Prince. The bird's eye view was very moving, as our group could see the destruction and need for many workers," Henson said. "We found ourselves pointing to tent cities, homes without roofs, and homes that were in great need of repair. The overlook gave me an opportunity to see Port au Prince in a way I had not seen it in my previous trip. It is my desire in the next year to take four groups to Haiti to experience the culture, the people and to assist the church in repairing and giving a sense of hope."
Living the Adventure Ministries, in collaboration with the United Methodist Volunteers in Mission, has scheduled four trips in 2011:
Feb. 22-March 2 (1 spot available)
May 24-31 (Trip for Young Adults - 18-35 years old)
July 18-25 (Trip for Graduating High School Seniors and Freshman in College)
Oct. 18-26 (Adult Trip)
If you would be interested in participating in a mission experience in Haiti, contact Henson at 618-830-6670 ormatt@livingtheadventure.net. |
