Getting back on track - meeting March 24

Hi everyone - well, the snow day interfered once again with our meeting - twice in a row!  Some of us met for dinner tonight (St. Patrick's Day) and agreed we'd like to schedule an "extra" meeting next week, March 24, to pick up where we left off on Bible Study.   Here's the new schedule, which should help us get into our Bible study  the way we hoped to before all the snow came!

Dinner at 7 - study starting around 8 - sometimes a little earlier, followed by prayers. We finish by 9.
