Epworth Superintendent Guest Preacher [1/8]

Join us for worship on Sunday, January 8th at 11:00 am as we welcome guest preacher, the Rev. Dr. Charles Adams who will share a message on what it means to make disciples for Jesus Christ.  Dr. Adams is the Superintendent of Epworth by the Sea, a Christian Conference and Retreat Center in St. Simons Island, Georgia.  --- Located on the banks of the historic Frederica River, Epworth By The Sea is a ministry owned and operated by the South Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. The property was purchased on October 29, 1949 and the gates opened in 1950. Epworth By The Sea proudly serves a diversity of groups, individuals, denominations, private and government agencies, Armed Services, civic organizations and others whose goals are consistent with Epworth's mission, which is to provide a Christian place for worship, study and fellowship. Epworth By The Sea is named in honor of the boyhood home of John and Charles Wesley, founders of Methodism.  In 1784, John Wesley tenderly recalled his home by writing in his famous journal, "I rode to Epworth, which I still love beyond most places in the world." Though he is said to have ridden 250,000 miles and preached 45,000 sermons, Epworth still held his heart.
