Weekly events include a FREE home-cooked dinner on Thursday nights at 6pm followed by a guest speaker, lecture, discussion, or activity, as well as an informal worship service on Sunday eveni

ngs at 5pm, both held in the Foundation building. Check this page for updates on small groups, Bible studies, social gatherings, and service events throughout the semester! For the closed student group, go here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wesleyfoundationatuva/

Over the weekend, Jim McDonald, who served as the Campus Minister at Wesley at UVA from 1968 to 1988, celebrated his 90th birthday with alumni who were students during his time here. Guests traveled from as far away as Hawaii to honor Jim, who established a foundation of openness, authenticity, and inclusion at Wesley. As a tangible way to commemorate his legacy for years to come, we have created a new unrestricted Jim McDonald Endowment. If you would like to honor Jim or celebrate your own time at Wesley at UVA, please consider contributing to this endowment www.wesleyatuva.org/donate

When the news about President Ryan's resignation was announced, Wesley at UVA collaborated with other organizations within United Ministries—a collective of leaders from various faith groups on Grounds—to write a letter of appreciation to President Ryan. This letter, which we delivered to his office earlier this week, expresses our gratitude for all the ways President Ryan has supported spiritual life on Grounds during his time at UVA.

During this week's dinner & forum, we have invited last year's graduates to join us and share their experience of finding a church- or what has been challenging in doing so.

Enjoy a free homecooked meal and stick around to connect or reconnect with our recent grads!
