Mark
Gilligan was a stranger to the
Bible until a powerful faith
experience awakened a hunger within
him to dive deeper into scripture.
Now, he delights in revealing to
newcomers all that the Bible has to
offer.
In Bible Basics, Mark thoughtfully
collects both testaments into a
six-week tour that will be
enlightening for people with little
to no Bible knowledge or those just
looking for a refresher.

Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James Bible
Saturday, February 4
9:00 AM - Noon
Meet at SOTV, carpool to The O. Meredith Wilson Library, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis
The words of the 1611 King James Bible ring out today in books, poems, songs, speeches, and sermons. This exhibit tells the story of one of the most widely read books in the English language. What made this translation of the Bible so influential?
Join Pastors Duane Paetznick and Mary Lund for an outing at the University of Minnesota, Wilson Library. We will view this traveling exhibition which was organized by the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.C., and the American Library Association Public Programs Office.
The exhibit marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible. The traveling exhibition was made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
We will meet at SOTV at 9:00 am for coffee, juice and donuts before driving down to the exhibit. Please register online or at the Welcome Center. Please indicate if you are willing to drive and how many you can take in your vehicle. We will then contact drivers and have carpools arranged for that morning.

One Actor, Eight Characters, A Fresh Look at Jesus :
Witnesses is a one-man play, written by Curt Cloninger, and featuring professional actor, performer and speaker, Rev. Jonathan P. Swenson.
In this very dramatic, yet very personal performance, Swenson portrays eight characters (historical and imagined) as each responds to Jesus. Through the eyes of these characters, both comic and serious, the audience is challenged to see Jesus from fresh perspectives; not as a cold and distant historical figure, but as one who was intimately involved in the “nitty-gritty” of life.
Recommended for ages 8 and up.
