United Methodism 101
United Methodism 101 with Rachel and Ted, 6 -7 pm in Fellowship Hall
The United Methodist Church General Conference is quickly approaching, a crucial junction in the history of the church at which the lessons of the last few decades will be crafted into guidelines for the decades ahead. In anticipation of this momentous occasion, Rachel and Ted will lead us in a 7-week course on the history of the United Methodist Church and what makes this General Conference so important for Asbury First.
