Why, God? That's a question everyone wrestles with at some point in their lives. When bad things happen, we cry out to God for answers. Beginning January 6, we'll look at the story of Job and his experience of tragedy to help us understand how God is at work in our lives and in the world...and to find hope in the darkness. Please come worship with us on Sundays in January.
This Sunday's message is "Whose Fault is it, Anyway?" by Rev. Steve Price.
