Here We Go Again.....

Merry Christmas (and Happy New Year).....

In this season where we celebrate all that God did in coming to earth as Jesus Christ, to reset the spiritual balance of the world and restore human freedom, it seems appropriate to give a lecture entitled "What to do with struggle." Using the text of the book "Be of Good Cheer", I'll be talking about the purpose behind the challenges we face in this world, and the lessons God's hoping we'll learn (if we're open) about how our relationship with Him and His children are actually deepend through our response to crisis.

I hope you'll join me to learn how we discover the touch of God's love in circumstances that can often feel furthest from it.

Love and Best Wishes for the New Year!

Your friend,

Pastor Ethan

P.S. Here's the information on where the lecture is to be given.
