Sunday mornings we have been studying the Names of God. When you know someone well you know their name and you know their nicknames. Throughout the Bible and especially the Old Testament, God has many names. The more we know and understand these names, the better we will know God.
We've spent three or four Sundays on this and now we're changing it up a little. We're still learning about the names of God but we're going to be hearing from each other now!
Last Sunday, those present had an opportunity to select a name of God from a big list. They could choose their favorite name, a cool name, or just close their eyes and pick one. Then they signed up for a day to present. There will about 5 students presenting every week through the beginning of December.
*Some people were not present when we chose names. There will be another opportunity to choose names on the Sundays to follow.
This is the tentative schedule (with a week off while we're at the Fall Retreat):
