Outside of the Wesley
The Wesley is updating its image on campus with a new name, a new logo, new signage and new ways to communicate with students!
Dear Friends,

With the start of school just a few short months away I want to share with you the following:

1.     New website officially launched
2.     Follow us on twitter
3.     Updates around the building
4.     Back to school events
New website officially launched

With the start of the school year come several great changes. We have officially launched our new website! Please check it out at OKWesley.org.

We are excited to use this as a tool to better communicate with our students as well as our alumni and donors. Some additions you should be looking for in the coming months on our website include a pastor's blog, sermon podcasts, online giving and more!
 Follow us on twitter Twitter

As we seek to stay in communication with today's college students, it only seemed appropriate that The Wesley created its own twitter account.

This provides one more means of communication between us and our students. If you are interested in following us on twitter, you can find us at @theOUwesley.
Updates around the building
Front room of The Wesley
Janey, Taylor, and the staff have been working very hard this summer to make our building more hospitable and welcoming. Many hours were spent cleaning, throwing stuff away, re-arranging the building, painting, hanging new signs, tearing down the old shed, etc. We are excited to unveil our brand new signs featuring our new logo on the front, back and sides of our building.

Please see some of the attached pictures to get an idea of all the work that was done. We believe these small, yet important changes will provide an atmosphere that students will be drawn to and it will allow them to experience radical hospitality.

Back to school events Cookout

While all of the updates around the building have enhanced our ministry, it's the relationships and programming that keep the students coming back. We have been reaching out to 100s of incoming students and telling them about our ministry.

We have planned a great back to school cookout on Saturday, August 21 complete with inflatable games, live music, and great food. Our first worship service of the year will be Tuesday, August 24 and most of our great small groups and Bible studies will begin over the first 2-3 weeks of school.

We are excited to see what God has in store for the ministry this coming school year. Please pray for us as we reach out and minister to 100s of new students!

Updates to the Building:

Outside of the Kitchen
The front room of the Wesley received a face lift with new paint and decorations making it a perfect place for students to fellowship, study and just spend time between classes.

Sign in Entry Way
The new logo for The Wesley is now all around the building including in the front entry way.

Shed
The shed behind The Wesley has been torn down creating a place for the grill and making our land much more attractive.

Thank you for being in ministry with us!
