One regards the Advent Study that I mentioned recently at the end of worship: I would like to invite the Rev. Dr. Steven Tuell, a United Methodist professor of Old Testament, to come and speak to us about the ways that the Old Testament looks forward to the Messiah. Dr. Tuell’s bio is long and distinguished, and yet he is as kind and personable as any human being I have ever met. And did I mention his sense of humor? He loves to laugh. Please let me know in the attached poll if such a study would interest you.
The other poll has to do with when we will offer a regular Bible Study at McKnight. I was thinking Wednesday evening, but it occurred to me to ask those of you who can attend what would work best for you. Please let me know daytime or evening and whether there is a day that would work best for you.
Looking forward to seeing you in church—
Becky
Prayer
Gracious and Holy God, a new school year is starting—it’s the “other January.” It’s an exciting season of anticipation and nerves, perhaps some sadness that the summer is over, perhaps some relief to have a schedule again. Bless the students, the parents, the teachers, as they begin a new year, and in some cases, even a new school. And bless the ones for whom school is no longer a daily part of life, that joy and anticipation and new learning—and even new teaching opportunities—might be found in other ways. And teach us always to return to you, whatever the goals we are pursuing, and in whatever circumstances we find ourselves. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
