Join us for a powerful conversation with local author Ernie Webb III about his book "Goodbye, Butterfly," a deeply moving true-crime investigation that goes far beyond the headlines.
In 1991, 12-year-old Brenda Keller was abducted and murdered in Dover, Kansas—a tragedy that shattered a family and a community. But this isn't just a crime story. Through meticulous research and compassionate storytelling, Webb reveals the remarkable journey of this family in the service of God and how they found forgiveness, purpose, and healing, holding to faith in God’s provision through the struggles of an unimaginable loss.
Whether you're drawn to true crime, stories of human strength, or simply want to understand how people survive the unsurvivable, this discussion will stay with you long after you leave.
This event is open to everyone—you don't need to be part of our church community to attend. No registration is necessary.
Content note: This discussion will address the abduction and murder of a child. While the focus is on healing and hope, the subject matter may be difficult for some.
