Dear friends,
C.S Lewis was a great thinker, writer, and scholar who wrestled honestly with some of the more vexing questions around Christian faith. When his wife, Joy, died young of cancer, he searched fearlessly for answers to the problem of pain. When world events spun to the brink of disaster, he sought a deeper understanding of the relationship between God's providence and human freedom.
And, when his life was marked by uncertainty, he cross-examined his beliefs regarding prayer.
Among his many memorable quotes, perhaps my favorite is, "
You can't know, you can only believe -- or not."
This weekend, Heidi B
ie
rmann, our talented seminary intern, will complete her time with us by continuing our mini-series on the topic of prayer. Her time in the pulpit promises to be fresh, thoughtful, and well-considered. I invite you to read these passages ahead of time and come prepared to engage them fully.
With gratitude,
Bob Henderson, senior minister
