Adult Study: Suffering and Hope

Rick Johnson will lead an adult study, “How the Bible Speaks to Us About Suffering and Hope,” at Zion on Thursday evenings, Beginning March 15.

There is evil and suffering in the world. There is also hope. All of us face issues of suffering throughout our lives and we struggle to find answers to help us deal with our suffering. In this class, participants will look at how the Bible provides answers as well as hope as we deal with some of life’s most difficult questions.

Sign up online or at the information desk, and be sure to bring your Bible (any translation that you prefer).
