Starting February 4, 2019, in the Wallace Classroom in the Family Life Center, the members of the Living the Questions Adult Sunday School class invite you to join in a study of John Wesley and Methodists, the beliefs and actions that started the group of believers called Methodists.
The class will consist of some readings, some presentations, and an extended dialogue about what it means to us today. Travel with us from Epworth, Lincolnshire in 1703 through time attending Oxford, during ordination in the Anglican church, on a trip to the New World in 1735 to preach in Georgia, and onward to return to England, Aldergate Street, and the continued the development of a group of Methodists, in both England and America, as Methodism was born. Live the Questions with us in the faith journey.
We invite you to join us at 10:00 on Sunday mornings this spring.

MIDWINTER UPDATE:
Due to low registration numbers, MidWinter will no longer be a weekend long event. Organizers are working on changing it to a MidWinter "Lite", a one day event at a location closer to us. It will most likely be Saturday, February 23rd or Sunday, February 24th. The cost will be considerably less as well.
At this point, this is all I know. I will update you when I get more information, hopefully by the end of this week.
