Thursday was the first day of fall. Autumn is a beautiful time of year in Indiana. The leaves begin to turn and the weather turns crisp. Watch for your gutters to become clogged with the leaves. Make sure to clean them out or have them cleaned later in the season so they don't back up and make ice dams that can cause damage to your home.
Looking ahead to October, we will meet off campus October 4-6. The church is hosting a conference.
International Bible Study: Tuesdays 9:30-10:30, room 100
We began our reading of the second chapter of Acts and discussed Pentecost, the "Birthday of the Church." The Holy Spirit came to the disciples with the sound of a violent wind, and tongues of fire rested on each of them! They were given the ability to speak in other languages. How did this gift play out? In this cacophony of sounds, people from all over the world were able to understand the message of the Good News in their own language. Peter spoke to the crowd, and his reference to the prophecies of Joel in the Old Testament gave him "cred" (credibility) with the Jews in the crowd who knew this text. He told them that Joel's prophecies were coming to pass. What an amazing day!
September 27: Join us as we read the rest of Peter's sermon in Chapter 2.
International Friends: Tuesdays 10:30-12:00, room 100
We enjoyed a wonderful tailgate in the back parking lot of the church. It was fun to play corn hole and enjoy snacks. Yes! It was hot and sunny. That is the best thing about tailgating early in the year. In a few weeks the weather will be colder and rainy! But that won't stop die hard fans.
