Session ideas for 2015-16
Here's the curriculum plan.
I'm going to be collecting lesson ideas from you for the upcoming year. So please start thinking about what you'd like to discuss in upcoming sessions.
If you have ideas about discussion leaders, presentation styles, or anything related to the discussion that you think would improve your experience during the hour, please let me know.
We’ll invite ideas from everyone. But this year I’d like the topic selections to be made by the people who have to bring the topics to life. So that meeting will be limited to session leaders.
If you would like to lead one or more discussion sessions in the year ahead, please let me know. The class loves a breath of fresh air. I'll be contacting previous leaders to invite encores.
I'm working now on setting a date for discussion leaders to meet. We'll review the ideas you submit along with ideas we bring to the table.
Then we'll set the curriculum track in place and divide the topics among ourselves and discussion leaders who won't be able to attend the meeting.
Second Sunday Social: spuds
After the 10:45 am worship service next Sunday, March 8, we'll have a potato bar and a guest speaker for the Second Sunday Social.
Barbara Borgelt's kin will be telling us about his summer in Mongolia.
Location: trailer.
We'll eat, listen, and be out the door by 1:30.
Have a safe and fun weekend.

RAGGEDY MAN JOHN
A 2-week study of John the Baptist
3.1 Steve Miller, John the Baptist, the man who left the good life
Luke 1:5-25; 80; Matthew 3:4
Luke 1:5 In the days of Herod, King of Y’hudah, there was a cohen named Z’kharyah who belonged to the Aviyah division. His wife was a descendant of Aharon, and her name was Elisheva. 6 Both of them were righteous before God, observing all the mitzvot and ordinances of Adonai blamelessly. 7 But they had no children, because Elisheva was barren; and they were both well along in years.
8 One time, when Z’kharyah was fulfilling his duties as cohen during his division’s period of service before God, 9 he was chosen by lot (according to the custom among the cohanim) to enter the Temple and burn incense. 10 All the people were outside, praying, at the time of the incense burning, 11 when there appeared to him an angel of Adonai standing to the right of the incense altar. 12 Z’kharyah was startled and terrified at the sight. 13 But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Z’kharyah; because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elisheva will bear you a son, and you are to name him Yochanan. 14 He will be a joy and a delight to you, and many people will rejoice when he is born, 15 for he will be great in the sight of Adonai. He is never to drink wine or other liquor, and he will be filled with the Ruach HaKodesh even from his mother’s womb. 16 He will turn many of the people of Isra’el to Adonai their God. 17 He will go out ahead of Adonai in the spirit and power of Eliyahu to turn the hearts of fathers to their children[a] and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for Adonai a people prepared.”
18 Z’kharyah said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man; my wife too is well on in years.” 19 “I am Gavri’el,” the angel answered him, “and I stand in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, to give you this good news. 20 Now, because you didn’t believe what I said, which will be fulfilled when the time comes, you will be silent, unable to speak until the day these things take place.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Z’kharyah; they were surprised at his taking so long in the Temple. 22 But when he came out unable to talk to them, they realized that he had seen a vision in the Temple; speechless, he communicated to them with signs.
23 When his period of his Temple service was over, he returned home. 24 Following this, Elisheva his wife conceived, and she remained five months in seclusion, saying, 25 “Adonai has done this for me; he has shown me favor at this time, so as to remove my public disgrace.”[Footnotes:
Luke 1:17 Malachi 3:23–24(4:5–6)]
Luke 1:80 The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he lived in the wilderness until the time came for him to appear in public to Isra’el.
Matthew 3:4 Yochanan wore clothes of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
