Why do bad things happen to good people?
Thursday, June 5th, 2008This was the question for our community group discussion last night.

Time…
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Tonight in our community group we discussed the question, “What does God require of our calendar?” We talked about what the Bible says about balancing work, family, and rest.
