Christian Education Classes are in recess for the remainder of July. For August classes, we will be looking at “The existence of God and the Problem of evil.” Two of the biggest questions we Christians get are: “How can you prove God exists?’ and “If God made everything good, why do bad things happen?” These three sessions will take a look at those questions.
