This week is your last chance to get ready for Halloween. If you haven't experienced a Hoosier Halloween before, you are in for a treat! Get ready to welcome your neighborhood children: Decorate your house. Prepare your costumes. Get your candy to give away!
There are plenty of other fun and spooky activities around town: don't miss the fun and check out our Things to Do Page.
International Bible Study: Tuesdays, 9:30-10:30, room 100
We continued our study of Acts in chapter 4, where the Sadducees and the captain of the temple guard seize Peter and John, who had been teaching the good news of Jesus Christ at the temple, and put them in jail overnight. (The Sadducees were a sect who opposed the idea of resurrection.) Peter quotes a verse of Psalm 118 in defense of his preaching, a psalm with which all Jews were familiar. He stands up to the religious authorities and "calls them out" for crucifying Jesus. They can't deny the miraculous healing of the man who had been crippled from birth, and they don't know what to do.
October 25: Let's finish this exciting story of the message of God's love and salvation being proclaimed by the early Church.
We made our decorator pumpkins out of reuseables. I have to say that they turned out beautiful. We had everything from paint shirts to a lovely ultra suede top (from Goodwill for 99 cents! What a find!)
October 25: Let's carve pumpkins and roast pumpkin seeds!
Bring a large pumpkin (you can get them from Kroger for a couple of bucks).
Bring a knife or your pumpkin carving tools.
Bring a large spoon to scoop with.
Bring some newspapers to absorb the liquid.
Conversation: Wednesdays, 4:30-6:00, upstairs classroom
Wow! We had some interesting conversations about world affairs that were punctuated by storm warnings for other counties. We learned that Germany is 'multi culti' as they say for multicultural (It is so much fun to say it with the right accent).
October 26 Veronica, you are on to keep the conversation going
English Classes: Thursdays, 9:30-12:00, upstairs classroom
Thank you for your wonderful singing of God Bless America. The story behind the tune is an interesting one? It was originally written in 1918 by Irving Berlin as a patriotic song for a musical review to raise money for a community building for an Army camp. The song wasn't used then, but Berlin later made some changes and it became a peace song after World War II. It was sung by Kate Smith in the 1930s. Here is the video that gives you a feel for the original sentiment after the war. This song continues to be a popular opening for sporting events.
