Happiness and the Spiritual Life
What is the connection between happiness and spiritual well-being? Surrounded daily by a challenging world, we will explore ways to increase positive, spiritually transformative energy, asking what difference does hope vs. optimism make? We will delve into the gospels, especially John, for insights into finding a quiet place amid all the chaos.

Where did all these Methodist come from? Who was John Wesley? What do Methodist teach and believe? Join us for a lively three-week class exploring the historical origins and teachings of a people called Methodist. Methodism made its way to the shores of America in the early 18th century, but the movement was shaped much earlier through the life of John and Charles Wesley. This short course will dive into cultural influences that shaped early Methodism, the introduction of Methodism to early America, and the basic teachings and structure of Methodism today. Led by Rev. Jerry Lee Butler.
