Dave Sullivan is ready to snap a great picture after service today, May 12 or May 19. Of course, if you’d rather, please email your favorite ‘jpg format’ photo to MUMC@MorristownUMCorg.

Where is God when tragedy and suffering strike?
In Why?, best-selling author Adam Hamilton brings fresh insight to the age-old question of how to understand the will of God. Rejecting simplistic answers and unexamined assumptions, he lays out core ideas for comprehending God’s plan for the world, including:
- God will not take away our free will, even when we use it to grieve him.
- God will never abandon us, especially in the midst of our suffering.
- While God is not the author of suffering, God will bring blessing out of tragedy.
