Led by the Rev. Lauren Hendrick, Dcn.
Meets in Youth Suite
Children, youth and their parents are invited to attend. This class looks at the really tough questions in a way that is easy to understand. It gives a theological understanding of God, of Jesus, and how the Bible calls us to live. Some questions looked at are: "If God is always with me, then how can God be with other people too?", "Why do bad things happen to good people?" , "Why should I pray if God never answers my prayer the way I want?", "Why did God send Jesus to earth if God knew Jesus was going to die anyway?", "Why doesn't God appear in a buring bush today?"
