Help and encouragement after the death of a loved one.

How do you know that God exists? Is Jesus really God? Do we really need the Church? Do you know the answers? What would you say if a friend, a neighbor, or one of your kids asked you? If you're struggling to find the right words, don't feel bad - you're not alone. Join us for The Search, Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00pm, beginning October 2-November 13, as we look for the answers.
