Emotions and the Christian Life

May 18th and 19th Quidnessett Baptist Church, along with Grace Community Baptist Church, The Presbyterian Reformed Church, and Grace Bible Church, are excited to sponsor the spring Southern New England Reformation Conference with Dr. David Murray. Attendance to the conference is free and there is no registration required. Details below or view the conference flyer.

Summary

Our culture is enchanted by the pursuit of happiness and yet it seems so elusive that many despair of ever finding it. As Christians, how should we think about happiness and sadness? What is true joy and how can we maintain it? Is it possible to recover from depression? How can we maintain joy when we are attacked by our culture? This conference seeks to explore these themes with professor, pastor and author Dr. David Murray.
