Asking the Hard Questions
2026-02-23 10:00 - 11:00 | Church of the Apostles UCC, 1850 Marietta Ave, Lancaster, PA, 17603, United States
At Church of the Apostles, we know many are carrying deep and honest questions about faith, especially in light of what is happening in our country and throughout the world. Questions like “Where is God in all of this?” are not signs of weak faith, but part of a faithful journey we are called to walk together.
To create space for these conversations, we invite you to a new monthly series, Asking the Hard Questions, hosted by our seminary intern, Deklan Lewis, in the Parlor. Together, we will explore doubt, struggle, and belief as meaningful parts of discipleship. Our first two gatherings will include viewing and discussing the film God on Trial as we wrestle, much like Jacob, with faith and what it means to follow Jesus today.
To accommodate different schedules, two sessions will be offered each month: Monday morning, February 23rd at 10 AM, and Friday evening, February 27th at 6 PM. All are welcome to join this thoughtful, open, and supportive conversation.
