The study will take place in person, but if you wish to participate by Zoom, we will send you a link.

Study Times:  7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov 23 & 30, Dec 7 & 14

Please speak with Rev. Wendy if you wish to participate in either the in-person or Zoom study (Email:  [email protected]).  All are welcome to participate. If you would like a book, please let her know as well.  Books are on order and are expected to arrive around Friday, Nov 19^th).

Book Description (from Christianbook.com):  In Hidden Christmas: The Surprising Truth Behind the Birth of Christ, pastor and New York Times bestelling author, Tim Keller guides readers through an illuminating journey into the surprising background of the Nativity story, a story that is a celebration of the advent of Jesus Christ, who came to save mankind and restore our humanity to how it was meant to be. This profoundly moving and intellectually provocative book unpacks the message of hope, redemption, and salvation hidden in the biblical account of Jesus’ birth so that readers may experience the redeeming power of God’s grace in a meaningful and deeper way.

They call grow not old, as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

In Kohima, India, there is a cemetery dedicated to the soldiers of the 2nd British Division of the Allied Forces who died in World War II during the Battle of Kohima in 1944. There are 1,420 commonwealth burials of the Second World War at this cemetery, and a memorial to an additional 917 Hindu and Sikh soldiers who were cremated in accordance with their faith.

In the cemetery, there is an epitaph that reads, “When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today.”

May we give of ourselves today to keep hope and peace alive. May we give of ourselves today for the betterment of someone’s tomorrow.
