Youre Not Alone

Beginning Saturday, July 13, 5-6 p.m. at St. Paul
Ever have questions about faith, feel alone in your struggles, want to have a closer relationship with God? While all are welcome, this group is encouraging our young singles to come together in conversation and study of scripture.

We will look at How could God allow suffering and evil? on July 13th, and then the group will formulate the questions for the next sessions. Friends and people not connected to the congregations are welcome, so invite!
