“Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes” by Ken Bailey
Begins This Friday 10:30 am—12 pm, Fireside Room
Bailey examines the life and ministry of Jesus with attention to
the Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes, Jesus' relationship to women,
and especially Jesus' parables. An expert in Middle Eastern culture, Bailey leads you into a deeper understanding of the person
and significance of Jesus within his own cultural context. With a
sure but gentle hand, Bailey lifts away the obscuring layers of
modern Western interpretation to reveal Jesus in the light of his
actual historical and cultural setting. This entirely new material
from Ken Bailey is a must-have for any student of the New Testament. This book will introduce you to a very old yet entirely new
way of understanding Jesus.

In thanksgiving: (from Elaine Ramsey)
Dear Trinity Family, It has been almost a year since I
was diagnosed with a rare lung disease. You have
supported me with prayers, cards, a prayer shawl,
graffiti messages, visits and so many other touches of
love and caring. Thank you for each day of continued
support, strength and love. Many blessings to you.
