The Gospel According to Harry Potter

The Gospel According to Harry Potter
 

Last night, Tuesday, a group of us met to engage in a new bible study called the Gospel According to Harry Potter, facilitated by Carrie Oster. 

 

Not only was this an intergenerational group learning about the gospels (and Harry Potter) in ways we may have NEVER thought of or imagined, but we also learned new things about each other.

 
Our next meeting is next Tuesday, January 16 at 6:30 pm – at church – in the new Christian Education classrooms. Our plan is to watch the first movie, and discuss biblical themes and similarities of message.
 
This is an organic group that will be facilitated by Carrie but led by the interests of the group. 
 
Hope you can be with us – it was truly a wonderful experience! There will be snacks but you might want to have dinner before hand or bring your dinner with you.

The UWW Rugby Team won the USA Rugby Collegiate Division II Championship last December and again last weekend at Furman University, Greenville, SC. In route to this year’s Championship, Whitewater defeated Pittsburgh State University (KS) 61-15 in the round of 16, the Grand Valley State University (MI) 24-12 in the round of 8. Both matches were held at Miami University, Oxford, OH. The team traveled two weeks later to Furman University to meet up with North Dakota State University in the semi-finals. The Warhawks defeated the Bison 51-25 on Saturday, then met up with Virginia Military Institute in the finals on Sunday. VMI proved to be a tenacious team. Despite the Warhawks putting the first points on the board, VMI led at half 27 -17. This was the first time the Warhawks trailed at half all season. The team battled back to tie the match 27 all with 8 minutes remaining to play. Still tied with less than two minutes remaining, UWW scored their final try and made the conversion to take a 34 – 27 lead which they held until the final whistle. The team is coached by Matt Pederson (Lake Mills), Pat O’Connor and Tim Probst (Whitewater)
