Our English word Dialogue comes from the Greek Dialogos. Dialogue is the sharing of ideas with the goal of each party growing in understanding. Beginning Sept. 5, we will jump back into our attempt to live further into that ideal. Each week Pastor Lee leads a discussion into the previous Sunday's sermon text, encouraging participants to delve deeper into Scripture and the larger message it contains. This is a serious study for Disciples who are seeking to engage the Bible and their faith at a deep level. Email Pastor Lee for more information.

"Who Do You Say I Am?"  The Tuesday Morning Bible Study will be studying the gospels and searching for this answer.  We will use the book "Parallel Gospels in Harmony" by David Reed.  You can order the book through Amazon or you can use a Bible that you already own.  We will begin our study on Tuesday, September 11th from 10 am to noon in the Chapel.  Anyone who wants to join us is welcome.  All you have to do is show up on Tuesday Morning.  The study will continue through the first part of December.  For more information contact Sussie Jordan at 512-923-9268 or [email protected].

That can get complicated on those weeks when we can't be here as the offering plate comes around.
