January Bible Word and Mennonite Conference

 I wanted to tell you a bit more about my 'Bible Word for the Month'.  I've seen in previous years where people choose a Bible word for the Year and find the verses in the Bible containing it, write them out, study them...

This year I wanted to to do a different Bible word for each month.  So for January I chose 'peace'.  I looked up the concordances in three of the Bible versions I currently use (King James Version, New King James Version, and New International Version), made a note of the verses mentioned (I did not use all of them), and wrote them out.  I found 27 through the concordances, but have also been finding others in my Bible reading.  Like this one...

"for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,

Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another." - Romans 14:17,19 (NKJV)

It's been fun to do, and next month the word I chose is 'joy'.  Maybe you might like to join in, or chose a different word for yourself :)

And I also wanted to tell you about the Annual Mennonite Conference on this coming weekend (2nd - 4th February) ...

these photos from the internet are not of the Western Tiers Mennonite church, but they look like this :)

The Conference will be held at Meander Hall, Tasmania.  Here are the details...

I hope you can read the details.  If you click on the photos, it brings them up larger.  But in case you can't read it, the contact person/number for more info is: Harold Weaver; ph: 6362 3609.

I hope to get to at least the Saturday afternoon session.  Maybe I'll see you there :)
