Revival: Faith as Wesley Lived It by Adam Hamilton
Six Week Small Group about John Wesley's Life and Faith!
Take a trip through John Wesley's life with Adam Hamilton! Revival: Faith as Wesley Lived It, is "part travelogue--part history lesson--a lot Bible study." (cokesbury.com) This study seems to meet several of the spiritual needs mentioned by our congregation during this difficult time. The promo video for the study reminds us that Wesley began his ministry in a time of divisive politics and spiritual decline. Sound familiar?
We will begin an in-person backyard class on Thursday June 25th,
at The Hoffmann Campfire.
596 Purdytown Tpke. Lakeville, PA 18438
We plan to meet on 6:30 pm Thursday evenings – other dates and locations will be determined by the group at the first meeting.
Please let us know if you plan to join us and let us know if we should order you a book. hawleymc@verizon.net or 570-226-3875
