sunday question seriesThese worship gatherings will be based on the situations and questions you submitted about life, faith, and God. We will address topics like “why do bad things happen to good people”, “what about other rel ig ions”, “why do marriages fail”, and other issues you have identified. We will have worship and regular teaching time and then provide questions and additional resources to encourage discussion among family and friends. Join us this summer as we tackle these very relevant topics that matter to you. Our children will be joining us for this series.
