All- Time FAVORITE Inductive Advent Study
We've used THIS study for years in our home. I love it. There are coloring sheets for young ones to color. Older students and adults can skip the coloring and do the study on their own. I plan to give the coloring sheets to the young ones as we discuss the week's lesson.
It's meaty, but doable. I would love to print it up for all, but since I'm a bit behind schedule, I'm going to post the link to the FREE download and you can save it and print it out for your family.
Let me know how you use it in your family and what you think. Some years, I've used it for a personal study.

Table Talk - Luke 10:25-37
Bible Study Resumes 2 December! - We'll be discussing Lesson 8 briefly and spending a majority of our time with a Table Talk on Luke 10:25-37.
Ladies, here are a few tips to help you prepare for our Table Talk discussion on Luke 10:25-37. Have fun with this. You are digging out the jewels of the passage alone with God and His word. You can do this!
*Re-read the passage daily until Tuesday. This will work best if you work on it a bit each day. This gives the passage time to "grow on you". It gives you time to meditate on what you are learning. It's o.k. to read ahead and behind the "official" passage. ::snort::
*We begin with OBSERVATION. Don't try to be deep. Answer the easily observed questions. Look for Who, What, Where, When, Why and How questions and answers. Let Scripture interpret Scripture. Jot your questions and answers down on the paper provided, be sure to include the Scripture reference for ease of our discussion. It's FINE to have questions to which you don't find answers. We'll talk about what to do with those pesky questions on Tuesday. You may WANT to make lists of key characters - you may not. Your choice. Do what helps YOU understand the text. Do not RUSH observation to jump to interpretation and application. This is ESPECIALLY important when studying a passage such as this that is familiar to us and often preached about.
*When you are familiar with the text, check some cross references - for instance "Samaritans" - Matt.10:5 - 6, Luke 9:51-57, John 4. Look up "Samaritan" in a concordance (check the tools in the side bar). Jot down any insights you gain into Samaritan....you could do this with any character or question in the passage.
*Do word studies on any word that catches your eye. Often this is the Holy Spirit leading you to an area where you will adjust your understanding of a passage or make a specific application to your life.
*We move on to Interpretation. Take all the easily observed facts, the cross references you've studied, the thoughts the Holy Spirit has quickened as you study, and answer the question, "What does this mean?". What did this mean in the culture, what did it mean to the listeners....?
*The final step for our Table Talk is Application. "What does this mean to ME?" Application is bound to happen daily as you are in the word. It doesn't have to follow step one and two...but as you lay a firm foundation of observation and interpretation, your applications will come clear.

Workers Together for Christ
Hmmm....Did you know that was our PWOC International motto? We exist under the leadership of the local chapel. One of our aims (there are 4 - check 'em out in the sidebar) is to "involve women in Chapel ministries".
This past weekend several PWOC members lived out our motto.
Saturday morning Emma joined De'Etta, Chaplain Goecker and Jared to prepare a hearty breakfast for all who were coming to clean and decorate the chapel for Advent. Those men can really flip those flapjacks. ::snort::
After cleaning up the kitchen, Emma, De'Etta and Chaplain Goecker spruced up the Fellowship Hall for Sunday's Unity Service.
It turned out to be GOOD that all the decorating was finished on Saturday. Flexibility would prove to be key on Sunday. Gas fumes and the Fire Marshall drove the 1000 service from the Chapel. We had our Unity Service in the Fellowship Hall.
Cheryl, Debbie and Emma pitched right in, working around worshippers and dealing with all manner of surprises. Thanks, ladies! As I pulled up with chicken and saw all the people sitting at tables in the Fellowship Hall, my heart sank. When I was told you three were in the kitchen, I knew it was all under control.
The picket fences and pumpkins were so cute we decided to leave them for Wednesday night's Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service and Pie Social. Thanks to Joyce and Dave Moore who helped take apart all the cute decorations which served us well this week.
Working together the load is light - and fun! Thanks to all for all you do to help the chapel continue its mission.

Shoe Boxes!
Amidst gas fumes and potlucks, the good folk of Goodfellow AFB collected ninety-eight shoe boxes. Huh? Why? What are they going to do with 98 shoe boxes? Did you miss this?
These little boxes were filled with gifts, notes and such for children around the world. They're now on their way to NC where they'll be secured and sent to children around the world. Thanks to all who participated in Operation Christmas Child. It proved, once again, to be a fun project for all ages!
