Song of Songs/ Song of Solomon - Our Fall Bible Study

Hi again everyone (2 posts in one day after months of silence: do scroll down to see my other post)

Just to say that I am looking forward to seeing everyone again on Tuesday September 3 to begin our year together.  By popular demand we'll be reading the Song of Solomon - also known as the "Song of Songs" .  This is a book of poetry, and belongs to the "Wisdom" tradition of books of the Bible - more about that when we gather.  We'll be reflecting in many ways about the importance of Love, both human love and divine love in the Biblical tradition. 

I am hoping we'll be welcoming some newcomers to this first meeting -- do come and get acquainted. We gather at 7 for dinner and fellowship, followed by Bible study and a time of prayer.  If you're new, please get in touch with me at the email address provided in the header, so I can send you directions or arrange to get you picked up at the Vienna metro.  See you all soon! 

Catching Up - and Looking Ahead to Fall


Hi Everyone -- as we move into August I am realizing that by this time next month we'll have already started meeting again. I am looking forward to it -- missing you all.  It was great to see those who could make it for the party at my place the week after Jamila's baptism, and I am looking forward to a report on the game night at Heidi and Kunal's.  I never posted any photos from the retreat in May at Lost River but am putting up here a few that Heidi took.
