Thurber Thursdays: Resurrection Living in May & June

Resumes 20^th May, Dinner 18.30h and Program at 19.30 h

20^th May – Special guest speaker Paul Borgman, Professor of English at Gordon College in Massachusetts. Dr. Borgman will be opening our eyes to new ways of seeing the story in Luke-Acts, based on his book “The Way According to Luke”. “In this exploration of Luke’s literary art, Paul Borgman displays his significant gifts as sensitive reader and trusted guide.” (Joel Green, The Theology of the Gospel of Luke). http://www.paulborgman.net/home.htm

27^th May, 3^rd, 17^th, and 24^th June – Thurber Thursday – “Just Walk Across the Room”, Just a few steps and a friendly hello may be all it takes to change someone's life—and their eternity! And the good news is, it has more to do with taking a genuine interest in another person and listening to their story than it does with learning evangelism tactics and techniques. Join us for the first two sessions in a four part series. PLEASE NOTE that Lee Hardy’s visit (below) is scheduled in the middle of this series (so we’ll meet 2 weeks before Dr. Hardy’s visit and 2 weeks after). http://www.justwalkacrosstheroom.com/

10^th June –Special guest speaker Lee Hardy, Professor of Philosophy at Calvin College in Michigan (http://www.calvin.edu/academic/philosophy/faculty/hardy/). Dr. Hardy brings an engaging perspective on life purpose and purposeful work, based from his book “Fabric of This World.”
