You know those questions your kids ask you that really stump you? Not the toughies like "Why is the sky blue?" or "How does electricity work?" that a quick Google search can bail you out of. But the ones that really make you struggle, scratch your head and hope inspiration will strike quickly so you can manage to string some words together that will make sense and actually help your child to better understand and grow in our world.
I'm thinking of the ones like "Why does [stranger in grocery store] have [any sort of difference]?" or "Why did [insert bad thing here] have to happen to [insert loved one here]?".
If your child has stumped you with any of these questions and you're looking for some advice, you may be interested in this:
Pastor Gary Knerr of Christ United Methodist Church in Lansdale, who happens to be a father of two, will be giving a sermon series beginning July 8th at both the 8:30 and 10:45 AM services that addresses these types of questions and offers advice on how to address them.
If you have questions of your own to add, or want to learn more, you may email Pastor Knerr directly or call the church office at 215.855.1643. Or, simply stop in. The sermon series will run several weeks depending up on how many questions are submitted.
