Dear Maranatha friends,
Marita Morgan completed her thought-provoking lesson last Sunday (Thanks, Marita!), and this Sunday Dr. Ruth Weston will begin a two-week series entitled, “Protestant Perspectives on Mary.” You can hear a recording of last Sunday’s lesson at http://www.bostonavenue.org/uploads/media/audio/180429maranatha.mp3.
Rabbi Charles Sherman will teach us on May 20, and we will join Pilgrimage, Journey and the Pastor’s Bible Study Class in the sanctuary. We will not have refreshments or class business that day, just a brief introduction at 9:45 so that Rabbi Sherman can have most of the hour to teach us.
