Tag: Grounded Reading Plan

  • Prime Time – Vol. 61, No. 8

    I am so enjoying the spring weather and the sunshine! It’s nice to sit outside and absorb that heavenly sunlight. It’s also nice to be able to be active again. Our next activity is a trip to the Science Center to view the mummy exhibit. Alternatively, you can visit the OmniMax theater to watch Back From The Brink about animals species saved from extinction. The Mummies of the World exhibit is the largest collection of real mummies and related artifacts. It is senior day, but prices are not currently listed on the website. Lunch will be at Zia’s! As always, the bus will leave at 10:00 a.m. unless otherwise noted.

    I know many of you have been following along in the Grounded reading plan, which we will complete on May 7. Several of you have even participated in Marco Polo groups. Congrats to all who have accepted and met this challenge. Several of you have expressed the desire to continue, and while our plans are not quite finalized, I can share basic info with you. After our completion of the New Testament, for two weeks we will go back and revisit ten significant scriptures that we would like to spend a little more time studying. Next, Pastor Zach will be preaching from the book of Isaiah during the summer, so we will read the book of Isaiah, one chapter a day, starting May 24. In September, we will begin the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament, which we will complete by reading two chapters a day Monday-Friday until the end of the year. There will not be a formal sign-up, but I am hoping that many of you will continue the habit of reading scripture daily. Getting the Word into us is exactly what God commands us to do to equip us to face the world with love each day.

    Finally, mark your calendars for Saturday, May 22 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. We are going to kick off Legacy Weekend with a party! We will eat a yummy catered dinner, hear a short devotional from Dr. Ross, and be entertained by a group performing music from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Don’t miss out on the fun!

    Please sign up in the new Connection Center for our April 16 outing. We have a brand new area for our members where the sign-up sheets will be. Walk towards the media center through the coffee Café and it is on your left, before entering the Café Annex. The Fee Fee mailboxes have also been moved there.

    On Friday, April 16 we will leave at 10:00 a.m. for Kimmswick. Lunch will be at the Blue Owl and there will be time for some shopping afterward. I hope you will be able to join me! It’s been a long time and I personally am looking forward to some great food, much-needed fellowship, a lot of laughs, and a little shopping.

    I also have one correction from the last issue. The date for the Perryville trip is Friday, June 11 (not July). Good catch, Prime Timers. I think most of you called me to tell me!

    I know that many of you have been reading along in our Grounded Reading Plan through the New Testament. I would be interested in knowing your thoughts about what to do next. Do you want to continue the momentum by reading though the Old Testament at a slower rate (perhaps 2 chapters a day, Monday – Friday, with catch-up on the weekend)? Or do you need a break? Do you have other suggestions? You can email me at gloria@feefeebc.org, or text me at (314) 604-6071, or call me at the church office (314) 739-1525, but remember, I am not in the office every day and this is not the best way to reach me.

    Hope you are all enjoying God’s handiwork as He is changing the seasons for us. Don’t sneeze too much and I look forward to being with you on our upcoming event on April 16!
