In the midst of anxiety and turmoil, the Moore Methodist Museum feels it is an important time to remember who we are and where we come from and hopes that the event Walking in the Footsteps of Wesley will help us to achieve both of these things.  Any questions or concerns can be directed to Anne Packard at director@mooremuseum.org or 912-638-4050.
