Can You Hear Me Now? – Dealing with the Silence of God
11:30 a.m., Sunday, February 15
We’re taught that prayer is a conversation, but what do you do when the other side goes quiet? “Can You Hear Me Now?” is a raw, honest exploration of the seasons when God feels distant and the silence feels deafening. Join us as we move past the platitudes and learn how to navigate the “dark night of the soul” without losing our footing – or our faith.
