Our Next Meeting April 21 7-9: Recap of themes in Isaiah so far - and onward

Hi Everyone
Welcome to spring, at last!  I'm looking forward to seeing you all at our meeting this Tuesday evening, 7-9 at Rodman House, on the campus of Holy Comforter Episcopal Church.  I'm told our meeting space is now back in order so it should be comfortable again.

We will be welcoming Austin Almaguer, the pastor of Vienna Baptist, and his wife Allison, as guests - and also I hope a newcomer, Sammy Dhaliwal, who found us online and is (I hope - Sammy?) planning to come.   I'll bring our usual light refreshments, and plan on doing a bit of "where have we been and where are we now?"  around our ongoing study of the book of Isaiah and where it turns up in the New Testament. This will help as we turn our attention to the last part of the Book of Isaiah, which reflects among other things about what it means to be the "people of God" -- and we'll see what New Testament writers have made of parts of this. This will be a kind of "re-entry" into our focus on Isaiah after last time's slight but appropriate  detour into Easter themes and the Road to Emmaus story.  We may also encounter some more Easter themes as we look back and forth between Old Testament and new - you never know! 

Hoping to see most of you on Tuesday! 
KATHY
