Psalms.

September 12 to October 10
The adult class will start its five week study based on "Listening for the Voice of Truth" by Patty Levering of Davidson, North Carolina, Friends Meeting. In five brief lessons, Patty Levering invites us to a way of reading the Bible with our whole body so that we "listen for the voice of capital "T" truth--a truth that "has more to do with love than with correctness, more with wisdom than with facts. It can't be contained by words. It doesn't fit in boxes--mine or yours." Guiding the reader into selected passages, Levering shares her own experience, offers new insight into familiar passages, and encourages readers to look at scripture--including difficult passages--with an open mind and heart. Copies will available at meeting by September 5.
