Interested in a fresh approach to reading the Bible and basic teachings of Jesus?  Pastor would like an idea of how many books to order:  Jim Forest, Making Friends of Enemies:  Reflections on the Teachings of Jesus.  It’s short, powerful and great for down-to-earth conversation.

Wednesdays: Nov. 16, Nov. 23, and Nov. 30, from 10:30-Noon in the meeting room at church.
Session 1:  Introduction to Bible Basics:  How do we read and understand scripture.
Session 2:  Some basic passages of Scriptures approached in 3 ways:  Opening up texts.
Session 3:  Making Friends of Enemies–examples of teachings of Jesus

Format:  short presentation of material, group participation, conversation about implications for our lives, our church, our community.
If interested I would continue during Advent:  Dec. 7 and 14.

Thank you,
Pastor Robert
