UMSA Fall Retreat

The UMSA (United Methodist Student Association) is gearing up for our annual Fall retreat. This year, the retreat will be at Cedar Crest Camp (about an hour away from Nashville) on September 16 and 17th. Registration will be $25 (including your meals and bunk) and will end on September 9.  We will carpool to the camp at approximately 5:00 so that we can have some daylight at the camp. We will be having dinner, a late night snack and breakfast the next morning prepared by our very own Nick Chrisohon. We will be leaving the camp around 11:00 am on Saturday.

We will share Communion, play some games, and have worship together. The camp has some walking trails and is a great place to stretch your legs. You can check out their website for more information:

If you have any questions please contact me at krysta.m.wolfe@vanderbilt.edu; you can also ask anyone on UMSA executive committee for more info.

England Immersion Trip                                                              

Every two years, Dr. Meeks leads students on an immersion trip to England. The trip involves extended stays in Oxford, Bristol and London and is concentrated on the Wesley historical sites. British church historians and church leaders lecture on Wesleyan and Methodist history and the group visits sites of contemporary British Methodist ministries to the poor. This immersion experience can be used for academic credit, either as United Methodist Worship (with some additional coursework) or as a Global Immersion and used for Field Education. The England trip is open to all students interested in Wesleyan heritage.
