People - personal stories, psychology, sociology, anthropology Places - geography, culture, urban planning Perspectives - how ot …

"What DID Jesus Do?" was the simple question that started it all! Instead of speculating what Jesus WOULD do, we wanted to study deeper into the teachings of our Jewish Messiah in Jewish custom, context and traditions when he actually walked on the earth.

We have been learning the Holy Scripture as explained by teacher Tom Bradford of Seed of Abraham Ministries in Merritt Island, Flor …

This is a group for women over 40 who are interested in meeting and discussing a book of the month over a cup of coffee, glass of wine or a beer. This is a time for us to have a short break from our husbands, kids, pets, and all responsibilities--some "me" time to have enjoyable discussions about the book we've read as a group. I'm more interested in meeting out, but if others prefer, we can also meet at each others' homes (but that's more work!).
