This Weekend: October 17th & 18th, 2008

Hello!!

I am looking forward to this weekend. We have a couple of guest lecturers coming to the class.

On Friday we will be discussing what it means to be a 'person'. We'll explore this first through the lens of liturgy, especially lament. I have asked a good friend of mine, Brent Johnson, to come in and talk with us. He is a worship pastor at Warm Beach Free Methodist Church up in Stanwood, WA. We'll do a little talking and a little bit of singing along the way. After the morning session, we'll move on to talk about the concept of participation. By the end of the day, we may even do something creative or arty. You never know.

On Saturday, Dr. Matt Jenson from Biola University will be with us to talk about humanity and sin. (See his book: The Gravity of Sin.) It should be a good but intense day of teaching and discussion. We'll end with a question and answer time.

So, please read and be prepared to engage this weekend. And don't forget the quiz at 10AM sharp on Friday!!

Peace,
Chelle
