Winter is Here (for a couple days)

 Hello, Friends.

In Indiana, the leaves are falling fast. The best way to take care of them is to mow them into your grass. It is also the easiest way to take care of them! Another great use is to pile them into your flower beds. They protect your plants during cold weather and act as compost.

We had snow and wintery mix over the weekend. Get out your mittens and hats!

International Friends Feast and Fun

You are invited to join us in person (with a Zoom back up) for an International Thanksgiving Celebration.

Bring a dish to share. You do not have to be currently registered to come. Just show up!

November 16, 10:30-12:00, Room 100 (enter Door 6)

Cornerstone Lutheran Church, 4850 East Main Street, Carmel

American Sign Language: Monday, 5:30-6:30 PM EST (GMT-5), Zoom

We chatted about the week. We also reviewed the names of family members: mother, father, children, son, daughter, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, in-laws, spouse. The holidays mean family gatherings and this year we all are looking forward to seeing family again!

November 15: We are dragging out our holiday sign vocabulary. We haven't used some of these words since last year! How many do you think we will remember? I am going to guess that like the holidays these words are pretty memorable!

International Bible Study: Tuesday, 9:30-10:30 AM EST (GMT-5), Hybrid

This week we read and discussed Ephesians 3 where Paul begins by saying that he is a prisoner of Christ. What does that mean? When Paul was writing this letter, he was a Roman prisoner, yet his heart and mind free in Jesus Christ. How can someone be the prisoner of someone who has set him free? The message of this chapter is that Gentiles (non-Jews) with the Jewish believers are heirs and members of the body of Christ. Revelation 7 (John's vision of the end times) provides an amazing word picture of all the saints. Sainthood belongs to all who are in the family!

November 16: We will discuss Ephesians 4 both at church and on Zoom. Join us in Room 100 or online.

International Friends: Tuesday, 10:30 AM-12:00 PM EST (GMT-5), Hybrid.

We planned for our Feast on Tuesday. 

November 16: Have you heard we are feasting???? Join us in person (or on Zoom!)

Afternoon Conversation: Wednesday, 4:30-6:00 PM EST (GMT-5), Zoom

I had a dental emergency. My apologies for having to cancel our class. 

November 17: Let's catch up. I can tell you all about my wonderful tooth!

English Classes: Thursday, 9:30 AM-12:00 PM EST (GMT-5), Zoom

Sentence sharing for JKL was job that kept us learning. Conjugation can be a conundrum that can be overcome. Check additional links on Our Meetings and Classes for American Accent textbook links and the free Mastering the American Accent App for iPhones and iPads or for your Google or other devices.

November 18: Review M and NO. Sentences, please. 

Kids' Conversation and More:  Friday, 4:30-5:00 PM EST (GMT-5) Zoom

We expanded our world to Japan this week. It is nice to have Friends around the globe and in different time zones. It is funny to think that we are tired or hungry but at different times of the day!

We talked about Queen's Gambit on Netflix. The Queen's Gambit is a chess move to learn!

November 19: 

Prepare to tell us "All About Me" in five sentences. 

Cook a feasting dish and either bring it to Zoom or snap a shot and share. Tell us how you made it.

Have fun coloring and write about what you are thankful for:  

Learn a little about the history of Thanksgiving.
