What if Scripture is meant to actually be alive and help us to be alive? What might life be like if I actually met God in the pages of the ancient text? What if studying Scripture were less about analyzing a book and more about engaging in an awesome conversation? What if Scripture mattered to my soul? These are some of the questions that Drs. Jud Davis and Drew Randle will be addressing as we explore ancient (and contemporary) ways that the people of God have interacted with Him through Scripture in order to aid in our own souls’ quest to know God intimately. As a retreat CLF, we’ll have some awesome times together over coffee during the weekend of Nov. 6-8.

Norman Jones is associate professor of theatre at Gordon College. Out of his passion for theater, he has directed 39 plays and supervised 28 student-directed productions, and assisted in the creation of 13 premieres or commissioned plays.

In 1989, Norm was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a genetic, degenerative disease of the retina that causes loss of sight, starting with peripheral vision. As a theatre director, and Norm had devoted his life to developing the ability to truly see what was around him, to notice nuances of expression, movement, and interaction.

Now he is discovering that vision can require revision, and that dependence on others and God can invite life's deepest blessings.

A time for the Bryan family to gather together and praise the Lord for all He has provided!
