Student Leadership Interns (2019-2020)

|
It’s been quite the start of the year for Greenville Wesley. Every week we meet at Great Harvest on Wednesday nights for our weekly worship. While Wesley Wednesday is our biggest weekly event, that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what we do. We host three different small group Bible studies. On alternating Mondays, we meet at Krispy Kreme for our Sweeter than Krispy Kreme Bible study. This one is led by Jeremy and we usually talk about some of the more difficult topics that come up in our faith. On Tuesday Nights, peer small group is hosted at the apartment of one of our student interns. This group meets for a home-cooked meal and is reading from Sabbath by Wayne Muller. On Thursdays, an intergenerational small group is hosted with members of the local church congregation.
Outside of small groups, Wesley also hosts plenty of fellowship opportunities for our students. We periodically have coffee in the library, where students can get a Starbucks drink of their choice and just talk with Pastor Jeremy and other students. In addition to this, Greenville Wesley is fielding an inter-mural soccer team that is currently 2-0 and first in the league! We have many fun activities and events planned for the coming months including a laser tag trip and a trip to Busch Gardens!
Finally, and maybe most importantly, Wesley has been involved in plenty of service opportunities in our community so far this year. We regularly help prepare dinner for the local homeless shelter and also pack sack lunches for those at the shelter when they leave in the morning. Wesley is also involved in cleanups at the Third Street Education Center, which is a Christian school for at-risk children in the Greenville area. When Hurricane Dorian devastated the Outer Banks, our fall retreat turned into a mission trip to clean up the house of one of the local pastors. We will also be participating in St. James UMC’s Trunk or Treat for Halloween where we will be supplying two trunks, lots of candy, and smiling (and costumed) students to pass out the candy to the children.
