Our theme for Theology on Tap for the Fall 2008 is "Year of St. Paul," so Sister Madeline kicked off the season on August 23 with an introduction to St. Paul and his writings.
It was very informative. St. Paul was one of the most influential people on Christianity, and the story of his conversion (his "Damascus moment") to Christianity is both inspiring and challenging for us. Paul's message is that God is willing to take us in - anyone and everyone - no matter what our past is like. We are called to imitate God's holiness, peacefulness, and inclusion...to conduct our lives in actions that demonstrate faith, hope, and love.
The next three ToT sessions will provide us an opportunity to learn more about Paul's teachines and some ways we can apply his advice in our daily lives. The sessions will be presented by Theology on Tap team members. Check the schedule on the left side of the blog page for the dates!
We also had some pretty good social time...it was great to see some new faces! And it was great to see the "old" faces, too... :) We had lots of good treats (plus a little beer and wine)! Kathy won the award for the most colorful shirt...
Below is an action shot...it's a little hard to see, but this was taken about two seconds before one of our favorite ToT team members (who shall remain nameless) spilled M&M's all over the sofa...
It was great seeing everyone after the summer break! We hope to see you at our meeting on September 9!
