Dr. Mark Allan Powell presents, "The Happiest People on Earth"

You are invited to Dr. Mark Allan Powell's presentation, titled "The Happiest People on Earth: Motivating Gratitude & Generosity in a Community of Faith," on Saturday, October 25, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. This is part of Preston Meadow's 40th Anniversary celebration, and one that you're not going to want to miss!

How did a Bible professor become a popular speaker on “stewardship” (his least favorite topic)? With good humor and a high degree of self-disclosure, Bible scholar Mark Allan Powell traces his journey from being “a typical church member annoyed by annual fund-drives” to discovering a biblical pathway to gratitude and generosity. He was asked to write a book on the subject and discovered that what the Bible teaches (and what the church should teach) about stewardship is incredibly good news: less about fund-raising than about having a more meaningful life and enjoying a closer relationship with our God. It is all about being grateful and generous: grateful people, Powell says, are the second-happiest people on earth—and grateful people sometimes become generous people, the happiest people of all.
