Lectionary Bible Study and Men's Coffee
Lectionary Bible Study
First of all, what’s a Lectionary? Well, a Lectionary is a group of bible readings which change weekly. Each group usually comprises two Old and two New Testament readings with an underlying thread linking them together. The idea of the weekly bible study is to find this thread tying the readings together.
To do this, the participants read the Lectionary passages at home, think and pray about them, then bring any insights to the study meeting, which takes place weekly at Stamford Estates. Sometimes you may get more than one insight or revelation, occasionally none at all – in which case, someone else will surely supply one.
There may be several different insights, all of them doctrinally correct, but it’s surprising how often we come up with the same final answer. And we are always learning from one another while enjoying the fellowship of being gathered together in His name. We’ve had this going for a year now, with an attendance of about six, although we did recess for the summer. We’ll reconvene Wednesday afternoons at 2 PM for an hour to an hour-and-a-half at Stamford Estates commencing 17 September. We’d love to see more out for this weekly study. Please see me or Gail for more info, or refer to the Drummond Hill’s Newsletter with the green print which came out this past spring. It has pretty much all you’ll need to know about the study.
Men's Coffee Hour
Some of us men meet in the old nursery at the west end of the Christian Education building every Wednesday morning from 10 to about 11 or11:30 am. I play host. This, too, has being going on for a year now, including the entire summer. The coffee hour includes a reading of a verse or two of scripture and a written commentary on same, plus lots of fellowship and just plain good conversation on a wide range of subjects. The turnout is usually four or five, but we have a 12-cup coffee pot. We would be delighted if we had enough men that we had to start using one of the urns and the Church Hall instead. So please turn out, you guys, and add your voices to the din. You’ll be more than welcome. Thank you.
