Bible Study: The Psalms | Room 101/102 | Cathrine Larrea | Where else can you find a book that includes hymns, prayers, worship, complaints, thanksgiving, and supplication to God? They reflect the history of Israel and their relationship with God as well as addressing our needs and concerns of today’s culture. Authored by various figures, including King David, the psalms reflect deep emotions and spiritual insights, offering guidance, comfort, and praise. The psalms emphasize God’s sovereignty and faithfulness, as well as the importance of trusting him in all circumstances. No book required. Just bring your Bible!

This group will begin on January 14 and continue until April 8. To register, visit suntreeumc.org/supportgroups. If you need help, contact Deana Massey-Dunlap at 321-255-7378.
