1/10, 3:30PM, The Winter at Valley Forge and the faith of George Washington, Performing Arts Center, Brewster – Presented by Dr. Peter Lillback. This sixth lecture in the America 250 series will highlight the miracle of Winter at Valley Forge (1777-1778). In particular, this talk will offer a study of George Washington’s reliance on God, and a defining moment of George Washington’s faith as he prayed and fasted in the snow at Valley Forge. George Washington demonstrated practically his faith in crisis. God heard his prayers and delivered George Washington and the troops from their endurance of incredible physical hardship and a spiritual trial. George Washington’s example raises a question – what do we say today about the question of separation of church and state? Info: 508-240-2400 | artsempoweringlife.org FREE
