The Wilson's 2019 Online Christmas Letter

Season’s Greetings to all of our special loved ones. We are grateful for God’s many blessings throughout 2019, which was quite an eventful year for our family: Adam and Alexandra were married, Andy was born, Lily came through a health scare, Luke was ordained, Luke & Emily moved, and Cathy’s parents (Phil & Madelyn Crail) celebrated 60 years of marriage.


Mark continues to teach at Southern Wesleyan University, and served the last part of the year as interim pastor of Welcome Wesleyan Church. He is continuing to work on his doctorate in Tranformational Preaching at Wesley Seminary.  Cathy is involved in many projects at home and in the community. She and Hannah continue to play (viola and violin) for University Strings.


Hannah lives at home and is currently a sophomore at Southern Wesleyan University, majoring in Early Childhood and Family Studies. She is doing an excellent job with her studies, and also works at The Growing Place Daycare Center. She was privileged to travel out west this summer on a biology class trip to visit such majestic sites as Yosemite and Sequoia National Park.



Wes and Jeweleeann live in a beautiful lakefront cabin a few miles from Stone Lake, Wisconsin.  Wes serves as the Project Success Coordinator and a student advisor at LCO Community College, on the Lac Coure Oreilles Ojibwa Reservation.




Luke and Emily have recently moved from Cumberland to Hayward, Wisconsin. Their one-year-old daughter, Lily, had some significant health issues earlier in the year, and thankfully they are resolving. She currently has a feeding tube and has been growing and gaining weight. We are grateful for all the friends who pitched in to assist them during their time of need during the weeks she was at Children’s Hospital in Minneota.



Luke's ordination in June was a beautiful event.




Ryan and Stacy were blessed with a second son, Andrew Jon, born on March 5. Ryan continues to serve on the pastoral staff of Hayward Wesleyan Church in Wisconsin as worship pastor and recently assumed additional responsibilities. Stacy continues to teach third grade in the Hayward Community School District. Beckett, age 3, is full of life and a wonderful big brother.

Adam and Alexandra were married in Troy, NY on August 30 in a beautiful ceremony. Adam works as a physicist at the Army Research Laboratory near Washington, DC. and Alexandra is the financial administrator for Graybug, a medical start-up company in Baltimore, helping people with vision threatening diseases. They also purchased their first home near a lake in Columbia, MD.


In August, we traveled to the Smoky Mountains for a special 60th wedding anniversary celebration for her parents, Phil & Madelyn Crail. We are privileged to have such a beautiful heritage of faith and love.

May 2020 bring you much joy in your journey.

Mark & Cathy Wilson
