Questions for God - Here they are!

 This Summer, I asked for feedback from the congregation about our SERMON SERIES entitled “Questions for God”!

So...  Here we go!

From July 24th through Labor Day, we will be delving into these questions:

• July 24th – “How do we know that you (God) care for us?”

• August 7th – “Does Heaven exist?  What should we believe about Heaven?”

• August 14th – “Do you (God) still speak to us?  Who is the Holy Spirit?”

• August 21st - “Why do bad things happen in the world?”

• September 4th - “Why is it so hard to be a Christian parent or partner?  How can we be better followers of Christ?”

We may not have all the answers, but we’ll work on it together!
Sincerely,
Pastor Gregg
