“Just wondering: how does God work in our lives?”
January 15
1:30-2:30 pm at Greencroft Community Center, Jennings Auditorium
After a small tornado damaged a nearby school, a friend of mine said he thought God had spared Greencroft from major damage with a kind of protective shield. I wondered about that…does God really select the location of natural disasters? Does God bring good or bad events in our lives? There are many Bible stories that indicate divine action but also human freedom to choose.
Despite these questions, I’ve experienced two events in my family in which I believe God was at work. Both involve loss and blessing. I’ll share these stories and invite audience members to contribute their own experiences.
