What's New at Sherwood Regional Family YMCA
The Reason for God
Ever wrestle with questions about the existence or goodness of God? Could you benefit from a safe place to discuss such questions? Then join a 6-week discussion of common objections to Christian faith and reasons for Christian faith. Facilitated by Rev. Len Tang and using a free study guide, we'll look at tough questions such as "Can One Religion be the Only Way?" and How Can a Loving God Allow Suffering?" as well as reasons for God from science, human nature and the life of Jesus.

Cost: Free to everyone and there is a book available for $10.00
Location Offered: Sherwood Regional Family YMCA

Christianity Explored
Developed over 10 years, Christianity Explored is an informal course for people who'd like to investigate Christianity, or just brush up on the basics. It explores who Jesus was, what his aims were and what it means to follow him. You won't be asked to pray, sing or read aloud, and you can ask any questions you like. Or, if you prefer, you can just come along and listen. Christianity Explored has been around for over a decade now, and it's been designed to suit different age ranges and people. 

Christianity Explored is for anyone who wants to investigate Christianity informally with a group of other people. Whether you have previous experience of Church, Christians and the Bible, or none at all, this course is for you. Everyone is welcome – from the most sympathetic Sunday schooler to the convinced atheist. We will respect your background, culture and beliefs. Tell us as little or as much about yourself as you feel comfortable. The classes are facilitated by a ministry team from Countryside Church.

Cost: Free to everyone
Location Offered: Sherwood Regional Family YMCA
When: April 21-June 23 and September 29-December 8
