Pain and Suffering are part of the human condition. Everyone has or will experience pain and/or suffering in their lives. How do we respond to it? Where is God in it? How can we get through it in an honest faith filled journey?

To help us answer these questions, we invite you to join us for a seminar on Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering. Pastor Tom will share some of his own challenges along with a review of Tim Keller’s book by the same title. We will also hear a testimony of someone who has gone through and reflected on pain and suffering in her family’s life. Finally, we will have time to share with others at the seminar and pray for one another.

Refreshments and handouts will be provided.

This is a 55+ seminar but adults of any age are welcome to attend. Please RSVP HERE so we can plan accordingly.
