This week at
Thirsty Thursdays - Young Adult Bible Study
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass,
it's about learning to dance in the rain"
The Bible teaches that trials and tribulations are opportunities to persevere acquire wisdom, and become complete. It also reminds us that God will never put more on us than we can bear.
Although life's challenges seem tougher every day, God remains undefeated! Join us this week as we confront the storms with Bible verses that help us "dance in the rain."
