These Study Leaders will help us explore:

• How do Emmanuel, or “God is with us,” stories in the Bible help shape our faith, hope, and love in action?

• How do we experience God in times of joy and in challenging times of sadness, fear, or anxiety?

• Can we experience God's presence in community as we work for justice??
