Dues collection is a task unpleasant
But their arrival much like a present
Excitement abounds
Happiness surrounds
Our shul will remain luminescent!

We are now looking at the development of early Christianity during the same period. Bring a Bible. Find the study texts online at http://cbt.news/J-C_StudyTexts.
