Donna Zimmerman presents
“A Noun and a Verb: The Problem and the Promise of the Word ‘God’”
Alyssa Halliday, Worship  Leader
Gary Smart, Accompanist
Cameron Norman (Voice), Guest Musician

Language is a powerful way to connect with people.  But words can be tricky things.  The dictionary gives us the definitions of words but deeper than that is the emotional meaning we give words based on our own personal experiences.  Let’s take a look at what this can mean when it comes to the word God.
