Dear Friends,

We will be starting a new study on Wednesday evenings on May 13th based on Adam Hamilton's "When Christians Get It Wrong." We will be using a video format for the study with a student book. The trailor for the study reads..."More and more young adults have opted out of Christianity and the church. The reason? Christians. When young adults talk about the problems they have with Christianity and the church they often name certain attitudes and behaviors they believe are practiced too often by Christians: judging others, condemning people of other faiths, rejecting science, injecting politics into faith, and being anti-homosexual. With his familiar style, Adam Hamilton tackles these issues and addresses the how's and why's of Christians getting it right when it comes to being Christ in the world." The books are $10 and a beginning supply of 10 are being shipped. I hope that I need to order more. A sign-up sheet will be available in the Narthex. We will finish the study this summer. Please be aware that we may need to skip a Wednesday or two because of the summer church schedule and you may need to miss a night or two for vacations but the format is flexible and your participation on one night is not dependent on material covered the week before. It should be an interesting study and well worth our time together.

Peace,

Lindsey
