In an attempt to accomplish several goals:

• Keep on track with the study
• Curb Isolation
• Give us more than TV
• Foster a sense of community

I am going to try to keep our Romans Study going in a phone/online context. While the online format will allow folks to chat and ask questions via text, the phone in is completely transparent and easy to do, just dial a number. I am planning to get the reading assignments online today. I am also going to open the class up to those who have not registered. I do have some books, 3, left if anyone would like to purchase them for $5, but one can also order them online, or you can just follow along with the Romans readings. I will not be putting the phone number online only via this email. If you need me to resend the number let me know.

*Additional readings to the emphasis of the study book. Probably due to not wanting to take a year to go through Romans thoroughly, Lifeway chose to emphasize certain passages above others, but I think that reading all of the text should be our goal. 

So, poor yourself a good cup of Sleepytime tea, put the fuzzy slippers on, and dial in to share some conversation about Paul's most mature thoughts, the book of Romans.
