January 10-February 3 @ 7:00pm In-Person in Room 7/8 and on Zoom
Does your faith make room for questions?
This class is led by Brenda Weikel.
Everyone has doubts. Where is God when bad things happen? Does God hear our prayers? Is there a heaven? How can we know? Often we treat such questions as the enemy of faith. But uncertainty doesn’t mean our belief is lacking. Doubt can be a path to a deeper, richer en- counter with God.
In Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith, join best-selling author and pastor Adam Hamilton as he discusses some of our most significant sources of doubt and shows how a steady trust in God can emerge from them. You will delve into questions like:
“Does God exist? How can I know?” “Is the Bible true?” “Why do prayers go unanswered?”
Hamilton approaches these sources of doubt with honesty and insight, drawing on the rich wisdom of the Bible, Christian tradition, and his experience walking with thousands of peo- ple on their spiritual journey. Whether you’re a longtime Christian or someone brand new to faith, this book will lead you to a trust in God that is unafraid of hard questions. Wrestle with doubt and find faith—belief and trust, not certainty; mystery rather than simple answers.
Books are available through Amazon or wherever you buy books.
Ways to help you prepare your heart and help celebrate this special time of the year!

How does the heart understand grief when it is broken by the death of a loved one?
To survive and live forward, those who grieve must find answers. As we grieve, slowly we understand that grief is not a crisis of faith—it is a crisis of the heart. Here you will find comfort, guidance, and spiritual support on your journey through grief. The hope is that these resources will lead you toward renewed hope and fullness of life as you emerge at last from the darkness of grief into the light of new life, with your soul restored through the steadfast love and faithfulness of God.
This class will meet 2 times a month, the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of the month. The start date will be October 3rd. Gail Susskind & Suzanne Morgan are leading this series.
