February preview of March!

Hello, Friends!

We had some great discussions this week in the classes. It is so interesting to hear how you spend your time. We are at the point in the "school year" where I would expect you to initiate conversation (in English). Talk to your teacher. Talk to the other students. Talk to the cashiers. Talk to the other shoppers. Don't be afraid of being misunderstood. Don't be afraid to ask someone to repeat what they say slowly. You are all great conversationalists and interesting people with plenty to say (I know. You have all told me some great stories!). Share with others here in Indiana.

International Bible Study: Tuesdays, 9:00-10:30, Room 100

We read a beautiful story where a "sinful" woman shows Jesus honor at a dinner party. Jesus recognizes her act and reminds his host that no one is better than anyone else. Everyone has done something to offend God and other people. Jesus forgives her sins right there in front of everyone and tells her that her faith has saved her and to go in peace!

February 23: Let's read some parables! Luke 8

International Friends: Tuesdays, 10:30-12:00, Room 100
We learned to made onigirazu (Japanese "wraps"). We tasted fried pork cutlets (tonkatsu), Spam, Taiwanese roasted chicken, Japanese omlet, kimchee and roasted kimchee, refried beans, avocado and combinations of these. Delicious. Everyone had lunch and we took some to Evelyn and her husband.

February 23: Let's Escape to Cool Creek Park
Join us for a field trip to the Cool Creek Nature Center. This little nature center is a great getaway. If the weather is very fine, we will take a hike and enjoy the playground. Meet at the church to carpool/caravan or join us there!
