McCracken funeral arrangements

It is with great sadness and joy that we are posting the visitation and funeral information for our mom, Susie. It has been a very tough 24 hours for us…moments of intense grief and then little bursts of joy as we remember our loving mama and how she touched us so, and where she is now — rejoicing and cancer-free. And it continues to feel so surreal to all of us.

Visitation:
Thursday, April 30: 4:00-8:00 pm
Flanner & Buchanan Funeral Home
325 E. Carmel Dr. Carmel, IN 46032

Funeral:
Friday, May 1: 1:00 pm
Church at the Crossing
9111 Haverstick Rd. Indianapolis, IN

This morning, early as the day began, the Lord brought us to this verse:
“He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.”
Isaiah 40:11

We know we are being carried close to his heart today.

With love,
Molly, Haley, Mary Lou and Ellie

A major change for class Web site

All,

Since the inception of this Web site, it’s been hosted on Typepad -  a blogging platform that requires a monthly fee.  Recently circumstances are such that I needed to move the class blog away from Typepad and to an equally robust blogging platform that charges no fees.  WordPress is the new hosting home for GenesisClass.com, where during the coming weeks I’ll be adding many of the same features on the site previously.  Readers will see a different look and feel, but the essential content remains the same and equally accessible.   The most important point is the opportunity to continue providing an online home for our class, and doing so now at no charge.

What to expect

Linda Thompson, John Zerkle and Bob Berger (our intrepid teachers) are in the midst of a four-week examination of church heresies, responses to them, and their modern derivations.  Here's the projected lesson lineup:

1. Gnosticism: the early church's greatest challenge (Completed)
2. Other early church heresies – January 11
3. The church's responses to heresies, including ecumenical councils – January 18
4. Modern implications of church heresies – January 25

Be there, or be square.

Sacrifice was: regulated, ritual, certainty, tangible, freedom, God was there, it taught separation, it taught obedience
