A Note From Our Pastor

Dear CG Family & Friends:

I believe one thing that helps us on our Christian journey is surrounding ourselves with people who can encourage, support, and pray for and with us. Simply put, people who are dedicated to being with us in the good times and the not-so-good times. I am grateful that we have such a loving and compassionate community of believers at Center Grove. I have personally felt the power of God that comes from Christian community as we have met together, studied together, prayed together, and served together.

I am excited to invite each of you to join me and Associate Pastors Ruth Smith and Marian Royston in an upcoming four-week book discussion of Why? Making Sense of God’s Will by Adam Hamilton. We believe this will be a great time of fellowship and supporting one another as we search for answers concerning God’s will for each of our lives.

We will meet each Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. beginning May 18th via Zoom. To receive the Zoom link for the discussion simply click (http://tinyurl.com/yckhjcaj) and complete the form. You may also contact the church office. Books can be purchased from Amazon or any major book distributor.

Here are some of the questions we will explore…
May 18: “Why Do the Innocent Suffer?”
May 25: Why Do My Prayers Go Unanswered?”
June 1: “Why Can’t I See God’s Will for My Life?”
June 8: “Why God’s Love Prevails”

I hope you will join us for what I anticipate to be a great time of fellowship and learning.

Blessings,
Pastor Cowser
