Calendar - February Calendar


Welcome to Judson Memorial Baptist Church This Sunday is Empty Bowls Sunday. The worship service will be condensed a bit so you can be first in line for soup. Last year over 500 people attended and over $14,000 was raised for local non-profits. And yes, I will continue the sermon series on The Eight Habits of Love, The Habit of Forgiveness. Get ready for some Jesus-math and the "rubber band analogy"!.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Temporary fix for the telephones at Judson

The phones at Judson Church are still out. However, you can now call the church office (612-822-0649) and leave a voicemail. Landlines on the Century Link network throughout Minneapolis have been down for weeks (reason: copper wire theft). You can also send an email to the church office; the office email address is info@judsonchurch.org

The Bible and You—Zoom Gathering Tuesday, February 11 - * Next Tuesday, February 11, 7:00-8:30 (MN time) will be the first of two Zoom discussions on the topic, THE BIBLE AND YOU; the second one will be Tuesday, February 25. You are invited to join us for either or both of these Zoom meetings. If you are on the Wild & Precious Conversations (aka Spiritual Voyager) email list, you will receive the Zoom link; contact Keith Ford to be added to that list.

* We are interested in your comments and questions about the Bible--whether you never read it or read it all the time, whether you value it or discount it. Here are a few springboard questions:

1. What perspectives about the Bible did you have when you were growing up?

2. What are your perspectives about the Bible now?

3. Do you have a favorite verse or story from the Bible; if so, what is it?

4. Are there portions of the Bible you especially dislike or disagree with—what is one of them?

5. In addition to—or instead of—the Bible, what is one writing you find especially inspirational or

     instructive?

6. What other thoughts, questions, or reflections do you have about The Bible and You?
