You know how every so often planets align with each other, creating all kinds of news stories about how Saturn and Venus and Jupiter are lined up and everybody should get out and watch them?  Well oddly enough, that kind of thing is happening with our Bible Studies.  All four of them are switching subjects in the same week.  We change subjects from time to time in each, but having them all go at the same time is unusual!

Our Wednesday morning Women's Bible Study just made the move from Acts to Isaiah.  There's some amazing synergy going on with the people there.  Our last couple sessions have been evocative and spirited to say the least!

Our Sunday morning group is moving from Genesis to Romans.  Both are classic books that you can never get enough of!  If you've never been through Romans you're missing out on much of the material that defines our modern faith.

Our Thursday night gathering is moving this week from a study of food in the Bible to a short look at Christmas and its traditions, particularly through music.

Theology on Tap, which meets this Saturday at 7:00 at the Parkins residence, changes topics each time.  Maybe it's cheating to count it in this list.  This Saturday's topic is going to be a question we seldom have the courage to ask but should really be asking ourselves every single week at least!

The upshot is, now would be a great time to try out any or all of these groups if you haven't yet.  You can get in on the ground floor of some great discussion!

I hope to see you there.
