Join us this Friday or any Friday at the International Coffeehouse
|
 Come by anytime between 4-6pm and join us for snacks, conversation and friendship.
It's a great place to ask questions like:
"What did you think of President Obama's State of the Union speech?"
or
"What is a good valentine gift idea for my boy/girl friend?"
or anything other question that you are pondering.
And of course it is free.

Chili Cook Off Sunday February 7th 5:00 PM
|
 Right before our Super Bowl Party, we will be holding our 4th annual Chili Cook Off.
Bring your best chili and "fixings" and then we will officially determine who the best chili cook in the area is. The grand prize will be a $50 gift certificate to Chili's Restaurant and the coveted Wesley Chili Champion Apron.
All attendees at the Super Bowl will be judges. (So if you really want to win, bring lots of friends!)
Please reply to this email if you are bringing chili. One medium sized pot of chili will be enough as we will have many entrants.
We will meet in Watseka Lounge at the Wesley Foundation
1203 Goodwin Street Urbana

Superbowl Party February 7th at 5:30 PM
|
 The biggest sports event in America, the Super Bowl determines who is the best football team "in the world." (We're talking American football not soccer!)
For persons who want to learn, we will be teaching you how to play and watch football (touch football that is). We will also be giving away a football as a "door prize."
We'll have a giant projection screen set up in the Watseka Lounge at the Wesley Foundation.
We ask you to either bring chili for the cook off (preceding the game) or a snack to share during the game.

Famous Bible Stories Studies Fri 2:30-4:00 or Sun 12:30 - 2:00
|
Each week we will be looking at a new story in its historical context
and modern issues that it may raise. This class will be offered at two
different times each week. Choose which works best for you. Each weeks
classes are independent so come when you can. Classes are free and we
have bibles you can borrow.
This Friday and Sunday we will be looking at Genesis Chapter 1.
This is the
first story in the bible telling of the creation of the world and everything in
it. For some Christians, the literal belief in this story (and the rejection of
evolutionary theory) becomes a "test case" for faith. Others understand it not
as a historical account but as a story explaining God's relationship to
creation and humans. It raises questions about science, responsibility to
nature, the "goodness" of the world, why God would have created the world.
Fridays from 2:30 - 4:00 pm and again
Sundays from 12:30 - 2:00 pm (This class will be include a "lite lunch")
Friday January 29th & Sunday January 30th - Stories from Genesis

Friday February 12th & Sunday February 13th - Moses
NO CLASS Friday February 19th & Sunday February 21st NO CLASS
