Young In Heart – ages 50 & up meets the second Thursday of the month from 11am till 1pm. Thursday, November 14 we will start a new study on the book of 1 Samuel, which has a lot of interesting stories. 1 Samuel records the establishment of Israel’s monarchy, about 1050 B.C. Samuel led Israel for many years in the combined roles of prophet, priest, and judge. After the people demanded a king like those of the other nations, God directed Samuel to anoint Saul as Israel’s first king. When Saul turned from God, David was anointed by Samuel to succeed him. After David killed the giant Goliath, he was brought to Saul’s court, eventually becoming the leader of Saul’s armies. Saul’s subsequent violent jealousy forced David to flee. The book closes with Saul’s death in battle, and looks forward to David’s reign. Cold weather is a comin’, so now would be a great time to start coming. First, we have Bible study and then we share a lunch together.
