WalkThru_leader200.jpgOn Saturday, Pam and I joined 17 others from Anchor in a Walk Thru the Bible seminar, Old Testament. I'd heard great things about these seminars for many years, but never had the chance to participate in one. It was well worth it. I learned a lot about how the Old Testament is put together.

Anchor co-sponsored the seminar with five other churches in our area code: Presbyterian, Mennonite, United Methodist, Evangelical Lutheran, and Church of Christ. North Highlands Church of Christ hosted the event. We did a joint Vacation Bible School the past two years, but attendance wasn't all that great. So someone suggested doing a Walk Thru the Bible seminar together, with a kids' track.

We only had a dozen kids attend, and that doesn't really surprise me. But there were 120 adults. They came not only from the six participating churches, but individuals from about a dozen other churches around the city who heard about the event. A number of them were from Lutheran churches, which intrigued me. Seems to be a lot of interest in the Bible in Lutheran churches. Or else there are just a bunch of Lutherans.

This Sunday, the churches are going together for a blood drive for the Red Cross. People can go to Grace Presbyterian to give blood. Unfortunately...Pam and I will be out of town. Shucks. I haven't give blood since college, when there was plenty of peer pressure and peer pressure still mattered.
