Greetings, Members and Friends of Wesleyan Heights United Methodist Church.   Over the past several weeks, the cases of Covid-19 have continued to increase throughout Kentucky. As a result, Governor Andy Beshear has asked that all Kentuckians take the next 30 days seriously and to take...

Let the Work Begin

Posted by Kaury Edwards on

I am not as young as I used to be. I have been reminded of this the last few years as the New Year ball has dropped, and I am already snugly asleep in bed with sugar plums dancing in my head. I am also reminded of this as I wake up and step on the scale, look in the mirror, and lose track of how...

The Spirit of Patrick

Posted by Kaury Edwards on

When the month of March rolls around, I am always filled with wonder and excitement. No, this is not because it is time for March Madness, or Lent, or even that the first day of Spring. I get really excited about March because it is the month in which we celebrate St. Patrick. If you have been...

Streets and Sidewalks

One of my very favorite Sunday feast days of the whole year is the Sunday that the church celebrates World Communion. This is a day that there is no us and them, no politics, no separation of denomination, race, privilege or economic status. It is a day that we, as the global church, come...

Do you like to dream? I do. I love to think, hope, and dream about what might be. I dream about my son, Beckham, and the person he might become. I dream about what next vacation spot I hope to go to. I even dream about my retirement. I also dream about Wesleyan Heights!   I must admit I...

The Beauty of Singing

1

Posted by Kaury Edwards on

A few years ago, I watched this video when a friend posted it on social media. This video from disability day at Fenway Park is moving in a lot of ways. However, the most powerful moment is not centered on the singer, it was when the entire crowd overpoweringly joins in the anthem. Everyone was...

A Family Welcome

Posted by Kaury Edwards on

May is the month that we celebrate The Kentucky Derby, BBQ, the end of school, and most importantly - mothers. It is our mothers that teach us many lessons in how to survive the crazy world that we find ourselves in. My mother has taught me a lot.  Here are just a few: "Always treat...
