The End is Here

We finished our semester in the Old Testament!!!

Now you may be asking: "So, what's next?" Well my friend, let me tell you. You, dear reader, have the chance to voice your opinion as to what material you would like to go over this next group session. Here's what I'd like ya'll to do:

PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS POST AND LIST SOME OF YOUR IDEAS FOR MATERIAL TO COVER.

If you have a devotional book that you like, or a certain Bible book you'd like to get into in more detail, or you want to explore a few issues from a biblical standpoint, or study different doctrines of the faith, or read through a classic Christian work, LET US KNOW!!! Any input you have is good input.

So brethren, we are running out of books in the Old Testament. Can you believe that each of you (depending on how often you attendted) have gone through 10 books! That's excessive!

So now I'd like ya'll to start thinking about next semester: what you'd like to go over, some areas that you'd like to touch on more, really anything in general. We'll have a little bit of time to talk about it, so please feel free to bring your ideas. If you want to go through different books, or address certain meaningful topics or questions, or find out how well Erik sings, please let us know at the next meeting!

This week's reading: Ezra 1; 9 (skim the chapters inbetween to get a feel for what goes on with the restoration of the land); Nehemiah 1; 8-9

Meeting this week

After much head-scratching and thumb-twiddiling, a plan for this week's meeting has come about. We have tentatively planned on meeting at Sir Johnny the Buff's house around 3:00 in the afternoon, heading down to San Dimas to do a little hike, and then head back to Johnny's for some pizza. But that's not all! The real "meat" of the meeting is what we will be doing during the hike/meal.

We have given this meeting the theme of "conversation." We would like to use this meeting to stir up intentional, meaningful conversation amongst us. So, if this is not asking too much, it would be cool if we all could come with different things you'd like to talk about. Sure, that sounds a little silly, but we would like to hear what things in your life are confronting you, and we'd like to hear about them and talk about them (either events, issues, problems, back pains, etc.). You don't need a 12-page set of notes, complete with PowerPoint, but come ready to share and talk with others about what interests them. And please keep this night in prayer, as well as each of us.

For this week...

There will be no required reading this week. We will still meet, but it will be a night with a different focus. However, if anyone wants to start reading early, the reading for next week is Numbers 11-14, 16, 18:1-7, 20, 25. Also, if you are not going to be able to make it to this week's meeting (or any meeting for that matter), feel free to let me know so that we can plan accordingly. Stay tuned for any new info!

Contact (not that lame movie)

Like I promised at the last meeting, here's the post where we can post all of our "other" contact info (AIM, MySpace messenger, etc.). I can be reached on AIM under the name theekevy (I'm not creative). Please add yours so we can hassle you more often!
