| Gen X/Gen Y
Lent Study Reading Scripture through the Eyes of the Poor For six Wednesday evenings beginning with Ash Wednesday (Feb. 22) |
 Good friendships were grown through last year's Lent study at the Lindgren house |
| For six
Wednesday evenings beginning with Ash Wednesday (Feb. 22) one small
group opportunity for Gen X/GenY-ers will center around the book
Unexpected News: Reading the Bible with Third World Eyes by Robert
McAfee Brown. This classic book (originally published in 1984) has served as an invaluable introduction for many North American Christians to how fellow Christians who live in poverty and powerlessness, particularly in Latin America, interpret the Bible. We'll gather again at the home of Clay and Birgit Lindgren after the evening worship service, from 7:30-8:30pm (more like 8pm on Ash Wednesday, when we'll just take care of introductions). If you want to get in on a group order of the book ($13), please sign-up with your payment to the church office by Sunday, February 12. You can easily take care of this at the Adult Faith Formation table at the Superbowl of Ministries (Feb. 5) or just confirm your participation with Pastor Williamson. |

| A
good time was had by all at the 3rd Annual GenX/GenY
Oktoberfest hosted by Pete and Alyssa Elza at the home of Carl and Pat
Heine. The festivities included a smorgasbord of German food and
dessert, games like Throw-the-95-Theses-Laden Dart at the Wittenberg
Door and Beer and Pretzels (a coaster toss game), voting for
our favorite Oktoberfest beer, and our best attempt to sing a pub song
in German accompanied by Carl's accordion. |
