Ongoing Events
---------------------------

- Interdenominational Bible Study
Hey guys, as promised we're gonna start getting the ball rolling on
this. The study would be topically based; each week we'd select a topic
of interest to discuss (i.e. Mary, the saints, authority of the church,
faith and works, etc. etc.). The discussion is deep and the questions
are often difficult, but it is an excellent way to grow in your
understanding of the faith.  We will be meeting for the first time
Sunday 10/17 at 2:00pm in the middle of the Student Center.  We may
start out meeting every other week.  If you'd like more information,
contact Joel (joel_f at mit.edu).

- French Interdenominational Bible Study
Voila un petit courriel, pour vous annoncer que nous sommes un petit 
groupe de francophones a nous reunir hebdomadairement pour discuter des
tresors caches d'un livre, vieux de plusieurs millenaires et pourtant
toujours d'actualite: la Bible. Que vous n'ayez jamais ouvert une Bible
ou que vous soyez docteur en theologie, vous etes tous bienvenus a ces
discussions informelles! Si vous etes interesses, venez nous rejoindre
les mercredis a 18h00, dans la Chem Eng lounge (66-201).
