This August and September, we will be getting back to the basics of discipleship. We will look at questions like: Who is God? Why is there evil? Who is Jesus? These and other questions will lead us as we talk about the basics of our faith. We will discover some new tools and some new terms. We will discover new ways to live out our faith. We will get back to the foundation of who we are as Christians.
And as we do, we will draw closer to our God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We will discover our purpose and responsibility. We will find hope for our lives and for our world.

Is there someone you know who has questions about Jesus, about God, about the church? Is there someone who is curious about the life of faith? Invite them to join you in church this month. Tell them we will be asking their questions. We will be finding answers together.
