Adult Education Schedule 

Adult education is in recess until Fall.
 
**Please note: A sub-committee has been formed to do long-range planning for adult education.  If you are interested in brainstorming ideas, please let Debbie Allen know.  Your help in providing inspirational and thought-provoking programs would be greatly appreciated.**

Monday Evening Bible Study-  We will resume on July 7th and consider the book of Revelation.  We are now meeting in the First Baptist Church Library. Please see Pastor Rich if you have any questions or need further information.


 What Guidance do Major Religions give us for Protecting God's Creation? 

A study group at FBC is forming to examine this question in relation to the Christian, Muslim, and Jewish traditions.  (We may also want to include other traditions.)  Our intent is to try to learn what contemporary scholars and theologians are thinking.  After getting ourselves organized, we are thinking of reaching out to others in Ithaca and possibly at CRESP at Cornell.  The major goal would be to look at the possibility of launching a major conference on the topic.  Contact Rev. Rose, Lynn Glase, or Louise Mudrak if you are interested in joining the effort.

Chishawasha Students’ Photos Available for Purchase Beginning November 1st
Last spring, members of First Baptist generously supplied funds for the purchase of cameras for use by Chishawasha orphanage students who participated in the Kids With Cameras workshop. Prints of the photos taken by the kids were featured in the November Smithsonian Magazine and will become available for sale online beginning November 1st at:   www.kids-with-cameras  and  www.tribeofman.com/zambia

The purchase price is $200 for each photo. You will receive a high quality, poster sized print suitable for display on a church, office or gallery wall. This price will pay for very high end digitizing and the cost of entering another copy of the print into a Traveling Exhibition of Chishawasha Student Work to be displayed at prestigious galleries and museums throughout the nation.  The purpose of the Exhibition is to display the student work and to educate people about the millions of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in southern Africa.  If you have any questions, contact the Zambian Children’s Fund Working Group-Ithaca & First Baptist.

What does the Lord require of you?
To do Justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.
