Eleanor Charlotte Baker is the teeny-tiniest addition to the Friends In Faith group, arriving on 12/4/07. Congratulations to Chris and Emily--welcome to the parenting subset of the group!

At our first class, we decided to read Robert Jewett's St. Paul Returns to the Movies as our study. This Sunday we'll be looking at the first chapter which is an introduction to the themes of honor and shame in Paul's letters. The first three movies, in order are (this book was published in 1999), The Prince of Tides, Babette's Feast, and Forest Gump. Join us!

Interested in what a FIF class is like? Here's a recap from this week and announcements about our upcoming session:

We had planned to watch a DVD this week but since it hasn't arrived yet, we
did something else. As a follow-up to our study of psalms in over the past
weeks, we took at look at some randomly assigned poetical passages from
elsewhere in the Bible. We looked at passages from Exodos, Amos, Isaiah,
Job, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Luke, and even some passages from the
apocryphal books Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, and the Song of the Three from
the additions to Daniel in the apocrypha. Next week Paul is bringing snacks

We will be digging into the New Testament very shortly. Follow along with us in our new study book, which can be purchased through the link below. This is a great time to join the class if you've been thinking about it.
