What a blessing it was to have Bishop Tracy Smith Malone lead us in worship and consecrate our building. Her sermon, “More Than A Place: Where Grace Becomes A Story,” captured exactly what Wesley has meant to so many of us.
Bishop Malone reminded us that “what looks ordinary to us, may become holy ground to someone else”.
For many students, their introduction to Wesley isn’t necessarily profound. As the Bishop mentioned, the skies don’t rumble with thunder when they find their way to us. Instead, they simply attend an event, meet a fellow Wesley student, receive a warm welcome, and begin to learn what it means to be accepted unconditionally and to belong.
That is the hope for this new building: that it will become holy ground for countless students in the decades to come. That it will be a place where friendships begin, faith grows, lives are changed, and students discover that they have a place at Wesley.
