Questions People Ask
Following Easter, we are going to have a sermon series
where Pastor Bill answers some questions you have about
God, about faith, about church. We can’t guarantee that
every question will get answered in this series, but the
questions asked will help us plan worship in the future as
well.
Please ask some questions on the form below and turn it in
with the offering or give it to Pastor Bill after worship. Or
email the office or Pastor Bill. Or text Pastor Bill. We do
want the questions in writing somehow so we can collect
them together. We won’t say who asked which question
during worship, but if you’d like to talk to Pastor Bill or
someone about a particular topic, go ahead and put your
name on the form as well and indicate that you’d like some
individual follow-up.
Questions:
