Wonderful Wednesdays: What Do You Believe?Wednesdays March 12th, 19th, and 26th - 9:45am What Do You Believe? There is the story of Charles Blondin, a tightrope walker who asked a crowd if they believed he could safely walk a wheelbarrow across Niagara Falls on a tightrope. Most of the crowd said they did believe he could do this. Then he asked who was willing to get in the wheelbarrow. For these three weeks we will explore what it is that we actually, personally believe. Questions like do you believe in miracles, and if so, what do they look like? Who, really, is God? What parts of the Bible do you believe? What happens when we die? Is there a heaven and if so, what is the entrance exam? And many more. No right answers, no wrong questions. We are all on the journey. Come to any or all of the sessions. Hosted by The Ven. Eric Partridge March 12, 19, and 26, 2025 |
