1 ( D i s c i p l e s o f C h r i s t ) ARCC NEWS January 31, 2018 Volume 43, Issue Notes from the Road God is still speaking! Another of those ways, random as it can seem, difficult of discernment, is in chance and circumstance. I have sometimes battered stubbornly at closed doors, convinced that the path to God s will lay through them, to find that a door in another direction sprang open. And, across the threshold, blessing unfolded. Does God speak through such synchronicity? Faith decides. What I m listening to: As I said at the end of yesterday s sermon, I m currently captured by Mavis Staples Action, ( ). Praise God from whom Grandmothers flow. Doug Disciples Fast Track: New Testament On Sunday, February 4, the Fast Track class will meet in the Green Room to discuss Paul s letter to the Galatians. Please come! FAT TUESDAY Valentine MARDI GRAS Join us on Tuesday, February 13, at 5:30pm to celebrate our LOVE of good food, our LOVE of fun, and our LOVE of good fellowship as we combine Valentine s Day & Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)!
