We had a great beginning to the holiday season and I hope that you have a very happy Thanksgiving. We reflect on why we are thankful, and I am thankful for all of you and our time together.
I am happy to hear that many of you are trying to roast a turkey. You can contact me with questions, or you can check the Butterball Turkey Hotline for a number of ways to get your questions answered. Black Friday kicks off the Christmas shopping season. Don't forget about cyber Monday, either! Safe travels for all of you who are going on the road.
People tend to rush this season. Take time to enjoy all the Thanksgiving season has to offer before diving into the Christmas season and all of its sparkle.
International Bible Study: Tuesdays, 9:30-10:30, room 100.
We read and talked about Mark 3:31-34. Jesus is teaching and His family arrives to take Him home (because they heard that people were accusing Jesus of being crazy). The crowd tell Jesus that His mother and brothers are waiting for him. He answers them, "Here are my mother and brothers! Whoever does God's will is my brother, sister and mother." What a wonderful thing to be called a relative of Jesus. We talked about how we are family to each other when we take care of each other. We sang a hymn that parents often sing to their children called Jesus Loves Me.
Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong. They are weak, but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus love me. For the Bible tells me so.
And here are they lyrics to Jesus Loves Me in 30 languages including Japanese and Portuguese!
And here is the tune to sing along in English.
December 3: Join us as we read and talk about Mark 4:1-20. Jesus teaches a parable how people hear his message.
International Friends: Tuesdays, 10:30-11:30, room 100.
We learned and practiced yoga with Selina. It was great to stretch out, work out and focus our minds. We discovered we were a little wobbly. This is a great word to say, but not a great way to feel when you are practicing Yoga.
We agreed that it would be nice to have a yoga meeting once in a while. We set December 2 at 10:00 for our first meeting date. If you would like to join us please email me (indyintlfriends@gmail.com) for directions.

Or try a pomander (you will need an orange, a large needle and a box of whole cloves from the spice section in the grocery store).
Conversation: Wednesdays, 4:30-6:00, room 100.
We met and talked and talked and talked about night shopping in Korea, restaurants in Indy and Carmel, where to get the best pancakes, and where we would like to eat. We decided it would be nice to eat out one of these days.
December 4: Come and join the conversation. Who knows which way it will go!
English Classes: Thursdays, 9:30-11:30, upstairs classrooms.
It was great to touch base with everyone in the classes today. The challenge is on! You know that the feasting season has begun. Thursday is a great day for feasting, but Black Friday means you have to doubly feast on Thanksgiving leftovers and then begin on the Christmas favorites!
December 5: Welcome back. We only have three more classes this year!
English for Kids: Thursdays, 9:30-11:30, Bride's Room/Nursery
