This Sunday morning join us for the rare and very special chance to hear our own Karlfried Froehlich, one of my best teachers, speak to us about growing up in Hitler's Germany. This is Part 2 and will pick up at the end of WWII. MS and SH students can grab a bagel upstairs and then head down to get a seat.  Part 1 can be listened to here.

Psalm 90 says "Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations." From one generation to the next, see how the grace of God sustains and heals.

Bewildered Survival: Growing Up in 10 Post-War Germany - Part 2
Growing up in Germany, Karlfried lived through the years of Hitler seizing power, experienced the pressure of the Nazi educational system, the initial war years with their German military triumphs but then, of course, the bitter years of retreat and defeat. As a teenager during the misery of the post- war years, he wrestled with the  existential questions we all ask: What is the purpose  of suffering? And how does a survivor find meaning  in having survived? Come hear how his faith  played a major role in his struggle to cope.

DinnersSunday Nights - Parents Needed!
Reduce - Recycle - Reuse 
In an effort to reduce our trash impact, we are moving away from disposable plates and utensils at Fellowship dinners.  This means we need some additional assistance in using our fast and fun dishwasher on Sunday nights. 
 
We've got some dedicated parents who are happy to help and to teach others. All 2019-20 dates are open on the calendar for either "Lead Parent" or "Assistant."  Thank you for filling up "Fall" - "Winter" and "Spring" dates are also available! Come learn how to use the machine and then sign up again to teach someone else!  Sign up and have a splash.

We need some Middle School Parents to sign up for December 8 - while the Senior Highs are on the Winter Weekend Retreat it's All Middle School - All the Time at Nassau!
