Mall Bible Study
We are starting next Thursday with the book of Ecclesiastes. This book is little known, but may well be one of the best for understanding the times we live in and what God is doing in such a time. Join us at 9:00 a.m. in the food court at Summit Mall. We are the folks with the Bibles near the back of the court as it leads into the rest of the mall.
Some interesting blogs and web sites
Blue Like Jazz the book that David Loar is presently reading as part of a clergy reading circle/blog which was featured this week in Diane Evan's Living Well column in the Akron Beacon Journal.
Brian McLaren is going to be "grilled" online May 9th about his views about hell and the criticism of his writings by more fundamentalist folks. http://tallskinnykiwi.typepad.com/tallskinnykiwi/2005/04/the_grilling_of.html
Celebrate Recovery
The Celebrate Recovery ministry is growing weekly. More and more people are coming to listen in, to investigate, to get help for the numbing emptiness in their life and/or to grow more deeply in the spiritual practice of their daily life. Join us on Wednesdays in the parlor at 7:00 p.m.
Ascension Day
We had a great celebration of Ascension Day on Thursday, May 5th.
