Scripture passages, we tried each

week to understand how that

evening’s Scripture fit into the

story we had already observed.

“Lord, thank you for bringing

together this group of people to

grow closer to you and one

another. Thank you for bringing

people to Circle Church of Christ

from various parts of the world.

Please continue to do so. In

Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Bible Study: “Acts, Every Member

on Mission”

Last evening, we shared a dinner

together, then spent time singing

and praying. Children participated

some times and drifted between toys

most of the time. The most touching

part of the event was hearing the

prayers of people. Many have grown

from a simple sentence to heartfelt

expressions of thanks and requests

to God. I was overjoyed as people

from other nations thanked God for

bringing them to Corvallis and Circle

Church of Christ.

Our consistent format enabled many

different people to lead the Bible

study discussion. As a result, I was

smiling as 8 people indicated that

they felt prepared and comfortable to

lead a group in the future. We

studied a series of Scriptures from

the Old Testament, then the New

Testament. The aim was to see the

overall story line of God and People

that the Bible emphasizes. Rather

than simply reading several isolated

As the 2013-14 Life Group season

wraps up, I want to pause and

celebrate the group that Pam and

I participated in. The International

Life Group met each Wednesday

at the UCC. Members were a

blend of long term Circle members

and people who are newer to the

congregation; including several

college students. Nations

represented included China, India,

Iran, Myanmar and the United

States.
