Coming up in IUGFM: The Week of June 13-18

What's going on this week?  We're kicking it like the first-century Greek Christians-- debating the nature of atonement, meeting in the wee hours for intercessory prayer, great theater, and to top it all off, gyros! 

Thinking about Faith meets tomorrow, Tuesday (June 14) at 7:30 pm.From Tim O'Connor:

We spent two sessions talking about the penal substitution and satisfaction accounts of the atonement. This Tuesday, I want us to think about the Eastern Orthodox understanding of the atonement.

This week's reading comes from the Orthodox Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, who is the foremost expositor of Orthodoxy to Western Christians:http://www.fatheralexander.org/booklets/english/history_timothy_ware_2.htm. Please look at the section of this excerpt that is entitled: ‘Partakers of the Divine Nature.’ You can also watch a video lecture by Ware at Phil's alma mater, Seattle Pacific U, entitled "Salvation in Christ—The Orthodox Approach": http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1088949815257678826# from 23:45 to 1:09, a forty-five minute discussion of different themes concerning the atonement. Or read a summary of a lecture by Ware that appears to have covered the same ground, though in a different order. It is here:http://avowofconversation.wordpress.com/2011/04/13/salvation-in-christ/#more-2220

Weekly Prayer:
We lie down and sleep; We wake again, because the LORD sustains us. Then we meet to pray for each other. At least, on Wednesdays we do, at 8:00 a.m. in the Poplar Room at the Memorial Union.

Fellowship:
On Thursday, June 16, we are going to see the Cardinal Stage production of My Fair Lady at 7:00 p.m. There MAY be tickets at the door, and everyone is welcome to purchase their own tickets, either at the Sunrise Box Office on Kirkwood, or from Cardinal’s website (cardinalstage.org). But! Kerilyn is going to purchase a block of tickets so that we can all sit together. So! Email Kerilyn (kharkawa@indiana.edu) by Tuesday evening (TOMORROW, June 15th) if you will attend, and pay her back on Thursday. Student tickets are $14; adult tickets are $21.50.

Book Club will meet from 7-9 pm at the Scholar's Inn Bakehouse on east 3rd Street (near College Mall), on Wednesday, June 22, to discuss Gilead. If you haven't had a chance to read it yet, we have a few extra copies floating around. 

Habitat for Humanity Build (and date change):
We plan to do a Habitat for Humanity build on Saturday, July 9th (a week earlier than we originally planned). Details will follow!
