Lesson Preview!!!
Well, as predicted - the weather last Sunday was pretty messy. A few did brave the conditions. We had class but it was an abbreviated version. Therefore, this week we will cover two topics of Advent - Presentation and Procreation. I have seen women prepare meals. Some are very delicious but because it was just a regular meal it was not presented with any special flair. On the other hand - there are those meals when the best china is used and the table looks like something fit for royalty. Presentation has a lot to do with the event. How significant do you think the birth of Jesus was to God? Do you think the significance equals the presentation? Finally, how does God procreate Christmas?
Bring your thoughts and questions to class Sunday. This is the last meeting prior to Christmas. It is also the final meeting until next year.
Peace,
Don
