Discussion in a large group

June 10, 2008

I wanted to express how pleased I am that, while the group has grown pretty large for this latest unit, we are finding that people are sharing “real” comments (as well as occassional funny one-liners) about the topic of marriage.  I hope that we will continue to see that, because it is through these comments – at least for me — where real “learning” occurs.  I also liked what Dave did this past Sunday where he told us a little bit about his and Kim’s “story” – I hope that we will get to know some of each other’s stories, whether in class or perhaps out of class over lunch, ultimate frisbee, etc.

Ultimate Frisbee – It’s hot out there!

June 7, 2008

Ultimate Frisbee has been moved from 3PM to 6PM on Sundays in a vain attempt to avoid the oven-like conditions out there.  It’s still at Forest Hills park off University Dr.  Email Matt Wallace if you have any questions.

New Room for Marriage Unit

June 3, 2008

Because of high attendance, the class will meet in room 402 during the summer. If we should bust out of that room too, we will make a later change.  For those who came last week, that’s the same class as we eventually moved to.

Overflow from Marriage Unit

June 2, 2008

We had a tremendous crowd for the marriage unit that started this past Sunday. The adult education committee is considering the logistical issues now and I will post where we will meet once a decision has been made about where to meet.

In the meantime, IF YOU DID NOT COME LAST WEEK AND INTEND TO COME IN THE FUTURE — please email me and let me know so that we can plan our room assignment accordingly. mrcommodore at yahoo dot com
