Wesley Village Celebrates 2014 "Heroes, Saints and Legends!"

December 02, 2014

Close to 500 friends and supporters of Wesley Village Senior Living Community attended the 17^th Annual Heroes, Saints and Legends Award Banquet held at Lexington’s Embassy Suites on October 7^th. Two couples were honored for their lifetime of service: Mel and Jean Bowdan, former Asbury College/KY UMC Annual Conference leaders; and J.B. and Bette Crouse, long-time missionary leaders with OMS International. J.B. was informed of this honor before his unexpected death on June 22, 2014.

A devotional reflection was presented by Asbury University President, Dr. Sandra Gray; special music by the Asbury University Men’s Glee Club and A Firm Foundation Gospel Quartet from the Wilmore Free Methodist Church. Also featured was a presentation by Wesley Village’s national consultant for long-term care “small homes,” Dr. Jude Rabig.

All proceeds for the evening benefited Wesley Village’s “Celebrate the Difference Campaign” to build more small homes for licensed long-term health and memory care. For more information on the event and the campaign, please call Tim Layton, V.P. for Development, at (859) 858-3865 ext. 262.
