"There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God." --Psalm 46:4

Serving God with His people at Faith OPC has been a great joy and blessing. When I grow up, I want to umpire Little League Baseball. I will revel on that day when I can say to a 10-year-old boy after four pitched balls, "Take a walk in the sunshine." My wife of 30+ years, Peggy, consistently demonstrates the love of Christ and remains my very best friend. Our six children, our four lovely, sweetie-pie daughters-in-law, and our four grandchildren serve as resident theologians.

Reading Group for the Rogue Valley

Caedmon College Tutorials

Four or five students have signed up to tolle lege—as the Bishop of Hippo heard it said back in 385-386 A.D. CC Tutorials welcomes students and young adult learners ages 16-30 of the Rogue Valley, the region of Southern Oregon.

Here’s the scoop….
1. Christian high school students and young adult readers—homeschoolers, Christian and public—are cordially invited to read, discuss and learn through these Tutorials.
2. The format is simple. A book will be chosen by a Teaching Fellow* and will be advertised near the beginning of each month. Near the end of four weeks, we’ll meet in Grants Pass for an evening meal and discussion. You are responsible to obtain the book.
3. Each month, Pastor Mark Sumpter of Grants Pass, the Registrar, will send out an email. You reply—voila!—you’re registered. A confirmation email will be sent to you.
4. Any fine print? Yes. Bring $10 to the dinner (cash only). The $10 covers a nice meal, a small stipend for that month’s Teaching Fellow and any other administration costs.
5. Registration is month-to-month according to your interests in the book, time available, etc. Look for an email notice about each coming month’s new book.


August 2010 Information:
Book: Sophie’s World—A Novel about the History of Philosophy (FSG Classics) by Jostein Gaarder.
Timetable: Read the book during August. The dinner and discussion is Friday, September 10th.
Teaching Fellow: Mr. Sumpter, contact: faithpastor@grantspass.com


*These are men—professing evangelical/reformed pastors, church elders and laymen—who adhere to the Nicene Creed, 381 A.D., the fundamentals of the Christian Church’s faith and life.
