Summer Worship Series: “Answering My
Questions About God!” So what DO you believe
about God? Throughout the summer months we
will tackle tough questions about God. Using the
Apostles’ Creed and Luther’s explanation along
with pertinent Scripture, we will look at a new
series for you and your family as well as good
opportunities to which to invite your friends who
want their questions about God answered!
Questions for June:
June 6 – God the Father…Creator or Evolver?
June 13 – God the Father…My stuff or His?
June 20 – God the Father…Where is God when I
need him most?
June 27 – Jesus…Wasn’t he just a great prophet?

not have to take a break. This year we are continuing

am, young and old can look forward to sitting at the
feet of our called pastors and LES teachers studying
and applying God’s Word. We are sure that all will
enjoy the unique large / breakout group format and
that it will offer a great change of pace from our
normal Sunday morning Bible Studies. Don’t worry if
you can’t make all of the sessions. Each Sunday is a
stand alone lesson. Just come when you are in town.
