SUMMARY:Good & Beautiful God Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever thought that God wants you to “try harder” or that God blesses you when you’re good and punishes you when you’re bad? We all have ideas about God and how He works in our lives. Some are true\, but many are false\, and these thoughts determine not only who we are but also how we live. \nStarting September 14\, we examine why the way we think about God really matters through the book The Good and Beautiful God by James Bryan Smith. This study meets Sundays at 11:00am and offers a great opportunity to grow in our understanding of God and be transformed by grace. To help parents who want to attend\, we also offer a children’s experience during the study where kids in nursery through sixth grade will continue their journey through Scripture with the Holy Moly program. If you have any questions\, please contact Reverend T. Bryson Smith at brysonsmith@fairfaxumc.org.
