New Testament Series.  Our Tuesday morning class meets in Room 6 from 10:00 to 11:30.

Prayer On Wednesdays.  The Contemplative Prayer group now meets on Wednesdays (instead of Mondays) at 6:00 p.m. in the Chapel.  This ecumenical group practices a half hour of centering prayer, twenty minutes of lectio divins, and an optional time for sharing.  If these practices are unfamiliar to you, come about twenty minutes early for a brief orientation.  If you have questions, contact our group facilitator, br. Ramon garcia, at osilence2@yahoo.com.

Monday Book Group.  The Book Group will on Monday, February 20, at 11:30 a.m. at the church.  February's book is The Paris Wife, a novel by Paula McLain, which is based on the life of Hadley Richardson, Ernest Hemingway's first wife, who shared his years as an unknown writter in Paris, and the artists and intellectuals they met there.  All are invited.

Wisdom Seekers.  Wisdom Seekers meets at 9:30 on Sunday mornings in Roger Williams Hall.  We have begun a new book -- The Faith Club: A Muslim, A Christian, A Jew -- Three Women Search For Understanding, by Ranya Idlibi, Suzanne Oliver and Priscilla Warner.  All women are welcome to join us.

Circle of Women's Ministries.  Join us Tuesday, February 7, at 1:30 p.m. in Roger Williams Hall.  Economist Janice Lilly will speak on food and food ethics, how we "vote" for the foods we like.  All women of the church are invited.

Feminist Book Club.  The Feminist Book Club meets one Sunday each month following church in Roger Williams Hall.  The next meeting will be Sunday, February 12, when we will discuss State of Wonder, by Ann Patchett.  There will be lively discussion and a pitch-in lunch.  Looking ahead, our March book will be On the Road to Baghdad, by Guneli Gun.  All feminist women are invited to join us.  We especially invite any new members to this meeting.  For information, email Cindy Stone.

Interfaith Winter Shelter.  Many thanks to the new volunteers who are now helping to staff the homeless shelter on Monday and Tuesday nights.  if you feel called to join them (and we hope you do) please email Sara Frommer  to arrange on-site training, or talk to Linda Hunt or Dan Case, who direct the shelter on those nights.  There are more guests at the shelter than ever before, and it takes more volunteers to do some of the jobs.

Bike Group June Adventure.  Our church bike group inviteseveryone to join us June 9-16 for an exciting southern Indiana adventure.  Even if you don't bike, join us in fellowship at Spring Mill or Clift Falls State parks where we will stay.  Many options will be available, including long and short bike rides, swimming, hiking, camping, etc.  Stand by for details in future announcements.  All ages welcome.  For info and question, email Rev. Skiles.
