Hi folks! I really appreciate all of you, and it's especially great when you can join me for live gatherings. Of course, there is nothing wrong with watching the live streams later, too. But in the interest of getting as many people as possible to be able to join live whenever you choose to, I would love to hear your thoughts on the best days/times to have our gatherings...
The Journey - I plan to continue to do our Bible study on Saturday mornings at 11 am eastern time. But I am not opposed to possibly changing it up in the future if enough people ask for that.
The Piazza - Until we can do more than 5 live streams per month, The Piazza will always be that 5th live stream in all months that have only 4 Saturdays (so if a month has 5 Saturdays, The Journey will take precedence and we won't have The Piazza that month). So for those months that allow us that 5th live stream - WHAT DAY(S) & TIME(S) ARE BEST FOR YOU FOR THE PIAZZA?
The Pub - Our gatherings of the Pub are on zoom so we are not limited to a certain number of them. And the intent was to have them when there is an occasion to celebrate, like a particular saint's day or some other feast day or pretty much any excuse. So the day of the week will change, but I still want to hear from you - WHAT TIME(S) ARE BEST FOR YOU ON WEEKDAYS?
OK post your comments - thanks!
Dear friends - Please take 10 minutes to watch this personal update from me:
I mentioned in The Journey that I wrote a song based on Isaiah 2, which is one of my favorite OT passages:
In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest mountain, and raised above the hills.
All nations shall stream toward it. Many peoples shall come and say:
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations, and set terms for many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
I hope you like the song!
I hope to have another installment of THE JOURNEY up this Saturday - here's the text for the rest of the chapter - I didn't bother with the colored text since this is all from the Gospel of John.
