| Did you know? On each night of Hanukkah, the menorah is lit to commemorate a miracle which occurred after the Jews proclaimed victory over the Syrian armies in 165 B.C.E. When Jews came to rededicate the Temple-which had been defiled by the Syrians-they found only one small flask of oil with which to light the menorah. This flask contained only enough oil for one day, yet the lamp burned for eight days (by which time a fresh supply of oil was obtained). |

Have you noticed that God loves diversity? Have you noticed that while people often forget what they hear preached, they remember what they sing? Iona Community member John Bell can help you introduce global music that reflects the gifts of Christians from “every tribe and language and people and nation” and make the experience meaningful and transformative for the whole community. By singing songs from other cultures, we can stand to some extent in deeper intercession with these people. And through that experience our understanding of mission and evangelism and the kingdom of God is enlarged. When: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 Workshop 9am–4:30pm; chapel service 1pm–2pm Where: Room B-29, ChristianTheological Seminary Cost: $40 for workshop and lunch. Deadline: February 9. Anyone with questions may contact Joyce Weidner at (317) 931-4224 or LifeEd@cts.edu. John L. Bell is a hymn writer, author and occasional broadcaster on national radio and television, but retains a primary passion for congregational song. Bell is based in Glasgow and works with his colleagues in the areas of music, worship and spirituality. He is a founding member of Wild Goose Resource Group, an expression of the Iona Community’s commitment to the renewal of music and worship. |
