A professor of anthropology was astonished to find that so many people know little of the lives of their parents and grandparents, despite the fact that they lived through some pretty interesting decades, “Many of us have no broader sense of the world they lived in, and especially what it was like before we came along.”
Don’t let that happen. Download pictures, vital records, military records, as well as stories. Examine family lore and collect family members’ first-person accounts.
Then take the information, cut and paste online text, and use basic writing skills to create a memorable family story, one that can be passed down for years to come.
Letters of Paul
Sunday, December 15 @ 11:30 am
We will continue with Jesus’s most important commandments of loving God and loving your neighbors, and we will add His message that the Kingdom of Heaven is here and now. We will then have an understanding of Jesus’s teaching that gathered followers from Aramaic speaking people in rural Galilee to Greek speaking citizens of the Roman Empire’s biggest cities.
Jesus’s teaching is reiterated by Paul and others who continues to be adamant about a transformational change in the behavior of Jesus followers. But the journeys of Paul and his companions to establish churches are sometimes difficult. Yet we are told over and over that the individual churches grew.
We will look at 1 Corinthians, Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth. Corinth was a large cosmopolitan city in Greece, and Paul’s letter includes guidance as well as responses to specific questions.
