Greetings Bible Studiers,
Last night a group of brave people came out to a Bible Study. We are meeting next on October 22 at 7pm in the Grace Land room. Between now and then we will all try to read the book of Genesis. All welcome.
Last night we were guided by our questions and our wonder as we read John 4: What was the difference between Jews and Samaritans? What is the difference between Jews and Christians? What role to miracles play in our faith? How important healing is! How important it is to be directly connected to the Spirit rather that to feel it has to be mediated by someone else! Why are religions still at war with one another?

We also shared some of our experiences with the Bible generally. These ranged from having a Bible recommended to us by a minister, to hearing Bible passages read at church, to receiving a Bible as a gift, to memorizing passages to songs, to hearing scripture read in Greek, to memories of pictures in a family Bible, to having a friend interpret a story for us, to losing a precious Bible, to people we remembered who cherished their Bibles above all else.
For me, the minister, the experience was a thrill like a bunch of balloons released on Easter Sunday! I enjoyed myself so much.
I hope that those who are interested in reading the Bible will come out. I will post our reading schedule on our Bible Study blog and here on facebook if I can figure it out.
Peace like a river,
David Kim-Cragg
