Once Upon A Tuesday

We started out our new semester with a "Fairy" wonderful theme for our Tuesday night talks - Fairy Tales. When we choose a topic for discussion we often ask ourselves "What do the students want to know about?" When we decide on a message for discussion the question is more often, "What does God want to say to us?" When we choose a way to present that topic and message we say, "What do people love and what are they excited about?" 

Who doesn't love Fairy Tales?

Our discussions so far:
Once Upon a Party - Will your story turn out happily ever after?
Peter Pan - A childlike acceptance and faith
The Emperor's New Clothes - Being able to see, accept and speak truth
Cinderella - Choosing to love and serve people that hate you

Now, just because we're talking about Fairy Tales doesn't mean that A Child's Bedtime Stories has replaced the Bible. On the contrary, we're learning to see how the Bible can relate to all aspects of our life, and how all aspects of our life can be used to teach us about God.
