During this coronovirus pandemic, many of us have been asking a lot of life questions. The Book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament illumines some of the great questions of life that we have been asking recently. Solomon, the writer of Ecclesiastes, was not afraid to ask big questions like "Where can I find fulfillment when I seem to be going in circles?" and "Who is really in control when the world looks topsy-turvy?” In the process, Solomon discovered how faith in God is meaningful in the real world. From wherever you are this summer, join Pastor Mark each Tuesday at 10AM on Zoom for a Bible Study on the Book of Ecclesiastes. Discussion questions for the day will be emailed in advance of each session for those who would like to do some “homework” in advance. Not on Zoom or have no clue what Zoom is? No problem! United Church’s IT specialist Hannah Chappell is here to help! Simply call the church office, and Hannah will get you set up!
