March Madness

Woo Hoo, Hoosiers (and we are all Hoosiers in March!),

It's that wonderful time of year for hoops! It's time to make your bracket and cheer your favorite ballers. You can easily pick your teams using the NCAA March Madness bracket. It's fun, it's cool, you'll like it!

International Bible Study: Tuesdays 9:00-10:30, Room 100
Wow. We spent the whole meeting talking about three verses: Luke 8:16-18! In this parable Jesus tells us that we don't hide a light but we set set it up to benefit everyone. He also pointed out that all our dark deeds will come to light. Another way of looking at this second verse is that everything that doesn't seem to make sense in this world and current situation will be made clear in the future for everyone to see and understand. Jesus finally warns us that we should carefully listen. He tells us that whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken away from them. We can trust God, we can count on His blessings. He will never withhold His peace, grace, love. Jesus warns that when people look to themselves or to something other than God, they may think they have support, they will find they have nothing.

March 8: see how Jesus' family is reacting to His work.

International Friends: Tuesdays 10:30-12:00, Room 100
We tried adult coloring. Boy, did that take me back to my school days! Everyone tried their hand at coloring and enjoyed conversation. Many of us tasted durian for the first time in delicious or not so delicious cookies. Some people love this king of fruit, others hate it. There is no middle ground. A number of us headed to Koto and enjoyed the show at this new hibachi "Japanese." It was a very nice to catch up with old friends and welcome new friends.
