February 10 – Stability and Change in Vietnam – Come and learn about the experiences of John Moeller, and Steve and Ava Holland as they traveled in Vietnam during the month of January. John and Steve led a group of Luther students (plus Ava) on this trip to learn about the life and culture of Vietnam.

From Wikipedia:  The flag of Vietnam, or “red flag with a gold star” was designed in 1940. Red symbolizes the goals of social revolution behind the Vietnamese, national uprising. The star represents the five main classes in Vietnamese society—intellectuals, farmers, workers, businesspeople and military personnel.

JANUARY 27 – “WHAT’S UP WITH EPIPHANY?”

We all know that the season of Advent culminates in the celebration of Christmas. But 12 days after Christmas is the Epiphany of our Lord, and because it usually falls on a weekday (not a Sunday like this year) it’s often overlooked. But the church has a rich tradition of practices associated with Epiphany. If you’d like to know more about Epiphany, its history, music, food and rituals, then come to the Adult forum on Jan. 27th. And if your Christmas decorations are still up – well don’t worry! I can tell you why that’s OK according to the church calendar.
