John Wesley's Vision of Sustainable Renewal
 

“I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power. And this undoubtedly will be the case unless they hold fast both the doctrine, spirit, and discipline with which they first set out.”

May 16-17, 2008 The Faithful Christian Laity of The United Methodist Church are pleased to present an Evangelical event designed to inspire and educate us as to why John Wesley’s Methodist approach to spreading the Gospel Message was sustainable over time and regardless of culture. We are inviting you to attend this remarkable event. Woodinville Community UMC 17110 140th Ave NE Woodinville, WA 98072

Please open the attachment to see what topics our Keynote Speakers, the Rev. Dr. James Heidinger, President of Good News and the Rev. Dr. Michael Beggs, Pastor of Fircrest UMC in Tacoma, will be speaking on.

Please forward this e-mail to any and all whom you think would be interested in attending this timely event, which includes a presentation on the results of the UMC’s General Conference 2008 which just concluded May 1, 2008.

We are grateful to our host church, Woodinville Community United Methodist Church in Woodinville, WA for providing the use of their church facilities for this event.

We hope to see you there, May 16th and 17th, 2008.
