We had 12 "Young Adults" in our first class this last Sunday! It was so great to see everyone there & we hope we can continue with this kind of attendance. It would be great if we actually outgrew that upstairs room. :) Our lesson/discussion was on the separation of church & state. Part of the lesson was about how God calls us as Christians to be the "Salt of the Earth". I don't know that many of us had thought of this before, but salt is a natural catalyst. It makes food taste better. It causes water to boil more quickly. It melts ice & snow out of our driveways, etc. So, I don't know about the rest of you, but that saying all of the sudden makes more sense to me now. :) We haven't named our class yet, but we had a GREAT suggestion after this first class from Michelle Hamilton. "The Salt Shakers"! I love it! Let us know what you all think & throw some more names out for us to all consider. We may vote this coming week, but I think this one might be tough to beat. :) We would love to have see you all next week! God bless, Dave |
