Rik Murray has been attending the 11:00am service at SJA off and on for about 15 years. He loves to share this time with his mom, step-dad, sister and nephew. Rik is a regular member of the SJA Bible Study and also enjoys the Meditation Group. Rik can be reached at riko8@iaxs.net. As a service to those who miss a particular Bible Study meeting, parishioner Rik Murray writes a summary of that evening's session and emails it to all participants. Tom Smith-Myott felt that Rik's summaries would be of interest to the general parish population. Hence, their inclusion on the SJA website... Bible Study is open to all parishioners and generally meets on Tuesday evenings in Hospitality Hall from 7-9 pm. Check the parish calendar for changes in the schedule.

Marcus Borg's "The Heart of Christianity" Summer 2004 As is their wont, the SJA Bible Study group often departs from the 'good book' to sample contemporary books about Christianity during the summer months. This year the group chose Marcus Borg's "The Heart of Christianity", a book that demonstrates how we can live passionately as Christians in today's world by practicing the vital elements of Christian faith. Here are Rik's weekly reviews: Session 1: Chapter 1 Session 2: Chapter 2(missing) Session 3: Chapter 3 Session 4: Chapter 4-5
