We found an amazing artifact in a church closet today- our framed Epworth League membership certificate from 1892! The League was a young adult association for individuals ages 18-25. Through community building, missions, and spiritual growth the League encouraged and cultivated Christ-centered character. It took its name from the English village of Epworth, the birthplace of John and Charles Wesley. In the musical “The Music Man” (set in 1912), one of the teenagers declined a date because “It’s Epworth League night.”
