Last Sunday: We focused on the "problem" of unanswered prayer and especially why God "permits" evil, injustice, etc. in spite of our faith and petitions. We especially looked at Paul's example, related to us in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10. _______________________________________________ COMING UP... Church Work Party is on Saturday January 28, 9:00 - Noon.
