3rd Annual Bedlam Bash
This past Sunday we hosted 325 United Methodist youth and sponsors for the OU/OSU Women's Basketball game! The OSU Wesley Foundation worked with us to put on a wonderful afternoon of fellowship and worship for students all over the state. We shared with them the importance of getting involved in campus ministry when they head off to college in a few years. It was a great day of food, fellowship, worship, and basketball!

Lenten Bible Study Begins
 Though most of our Bible studies and small groups began in early February, our associate director, Janey Wilson, and Catherine Carson (wife of Rev. Allen Carson of Bridgeview UMC) recently began a Lenten lunchtime Bible study on Adam Hamilton's Book 24 Hours that Changed the World.
While many of our Methodist churches across the country are studying from this book and hearing sermons preached from this series, many of our students are joining in by participating in this 6 week study at the Wesley. They meet each Wednesday for lunch to study a different story about Jesus' final 24 hours on earth.

85 young people attend Spring Retreat
We had a great group of young people attend the annual spring retreat at Crosspoint Camp February 19-21. These students gave of their time and money to spend the weekend away from homework and distractions to fellowship with one another, worship, and grow deeper in their relationship with Christ.
We were blessed to have Rev. DA Bennett spend the weekend with us and preach four times on character and authenticity in the Christian Faith.
Our students spent the weekend worshipping, sharing and praying together in small groups, playing games, and fellowshipping and building relationships.
