November and December in Indiana offers so many fun and festive opportunities to get out. Don't let the chilly air dissuade you from enjoying the season of Thanksgiving. Getting out in the cold can be fun! It looks like the next week will be a cold one.
I'm excited for our Feast on Tuesday. The food is always so good! I love this event because you teach me so many new dishes to add to my Thanksgiving table tradition.
Get ready for holiday season with the Carmel Christkindlmarkt which opens November 16.
Keep warm!
International Bible Study: Tuesdays, 9:30-10:30, room 100.
Our focus this past week was Mark 3:13-19: the story of Jesus appointing his 12 apostles. Their role was for them to be with him, he could send them out to preach (read the note on this one! So interesting!) and he gave them the authority to cast out demons. Who were the apostles? Some of the names are familiar. They were Simon (whom Jesus gave the name Peter), James and John (who were the sons of Zebedee, and whom Jesus called “Sons of Thunder”), Andrew (who was Simon’s brother), Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew (also known as Levi, the tax collector), Thomas (later known as Doubting Thomas), James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot (who belonged to a group of religious and political zealots who were passionate about getting rid of the Romans who were governing Israel), and Judas Iscariot (who - Spoiler Alert! - later betrayed Jesus to his enemies).
