Come to the Adult Forum, 10am Sundays

Come to the Adult Forum, 10 a.m. each Sunday in the Library for a stimulating discussion at the moment centered on Francis Collins' book, "Belief." Last week we discussed a selection from Desmond Tutu, on a subject dealing with evil and suffering, especially in the context of South Africa; this week we will be discussing a selection from Elie Wiesel. Come put your toe in the water and just listen or...join in the discussion. Contact Dean Lewis for more information - deanlewis47@gmail.com.

Advent Conspiracy study, beginning November 22nd

The story of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love. So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists. And when it's all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas?

*What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?*

Welcome to Advent Conspiracy. A four week study that will take place Tuesday evenings begin November 22 from 7-8:30pm. To sign up please e-mail Amanda+ at amanda@stjameslothian.com by November 8th.
