Bonhoeffer Study Group Meeting Saturday December 8, 10-noon at Our Savior's Lutheran Church, 3300 Rural St., Rockford, IL. Our December meeting will pick up the spirit of the season and be a "gift" exchange. Each person is asked to bring a short Bonhoeffer "gift" i.e. a cherished thought or extract to share with the group. Newcomers will be able to easily join in as we help each other to understand. In fact, newcomer questions have led to very interesting insights. Contact Peter Thomas, Convenor, at pbthomas@insightbb.com .
