Maranatha Newsletter – September 15-21, 2019

Rev. David Wiggs continued his series of lessons for the month of September on the topic of "Where in the world is God?" versus "God is making all things new!" We learned from his survey that many of us have a fairly negative view of the world. Some of us were even less knowledgeable than a baboon (we won’t say who!). Rev. Wiggs suggested that when change becomes uncomfortable we think of change as the movement of God in the world. He will continue on this topic next week.
