Delayed start for How to Study class

(posted by Paul Zilmer)

Last Thursday, the scheduled start date for our winter offering of "How to Study the Bible", was forecast to begin with an overnight snowstorm, and get worse from there. And so it happened. By early afternoon it was clear that it would be unwise to try to hold the class. I called all of the registered students I could reach, and they all said, "Oh good" when I told them we would postpone.

Last evening, one week late, we began the class. Five of the eight registered students attended. (One had called saying she had to cancel.)

We talked about how to make up the missed session. There was no evening or weekend time that would work for everyone. They suggested we run a little late each time, and get the six sessions of material into five classes. So that's what we will do.

The couple on the left has been attending our Tuesday night discussion class, and they have now requested private classes as well. The gent in back is also a regular at the Tue night class. At the table on the right, the older man has attended some previous classes, and the younger one is a first-time student who just signed up that day. Perhaps out of the snowstorm our Lord enabled a connection?

The opening class seemed to go well, and two of the students remarked as they were leaving that they were surprised to learn more than they expected from the class. They, and I, are looking forward to the weeks ahead!
