Happy? What is it and How to Find It

happyHappy? What It Is and How to Find It by Matt Miofsky answers the question of how we can find lasting happiness in our lives. The book defines what happiness looks like according to the Bible and then describes ways that we can achieve happiness through relationships, a forgiving lifestyle, living in the present, feeling gratitude, and learning to release control.

Matt Miofsky explores these concepts through some unexpected biblical texts, but his basic theology is sound: it is only when we turn to God that we will find lasting happiness.

The class meets for four weeks in Room 101 on Sundays: October 21, 28, November 4 and 18.  It meets at 10 am in Room 101.

A book is available for purchase for $10. The book enhances the classes, but it is not required.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance

As we watch natural disasters impact our nation and world, know that the Presbyterian Church USA is involved in disaster assistance and clean-up.  The Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is active in many ways.  Last fall our congregation packed 18 clean-up buckets.  Buckets like ours are given out after events like Hurricane Florence.  The PDA is involved in the long-term clean up and restoration efforts in Houston from Hurricane Harvey.  Learn more here: http://pda.pcusa.org/
