From the Board of Directors
Hi students, alumni, and friends of Greenville Wesley. I hope this finds you well and re-engaged in your regular routines now that the holidays are behind us. Your board members asked that I provide you an update on what we’ve been doing in our roles as supporters and partners in this campus ministry.
The most enjoyable things that we do are the activities with the students – attending Wesley Wednesday, hosting small groups or studies, and just getting to know the students, their needs, and their dreams. Spending time with the students reminds us of why we chose to serve this ministry. They are the future leaders of our communities and churches, and great ambassadors for Christ.
We’ve also spent considerable time these last few months doing “work” (much less fun, but important). 😊
The board has been focused on discerning, with Jeremy and the students, the future vision for this ministry. What needs to be done, how it will be done, and most importantly, how God’s will is to be done through the hands and feet and hearts of Greenville Wesley. We’ve had open conversations about the ministry itself, and its future financial viability in a time when we expect to receive significantly less support from the Methodist Church.
We seek your help! First, be on the lookout for information on the Greenville Wesley Vision. Then, provide any thoughts or insights that you have to Jeremy or any of the board members so that we can include your perspectives in this important journey. Finally, if you are not already doing so, would you consider financially supporting Greenville Wesley in whatever measure you are able and feel led to? You can find information on how to give, and on the Wesley 100 group of dedicated benefactors, on the web site and elsewhere in this newsletter.
Grace and peace…and THANKS to you all.
