"ON THE LAST AND GREATEST DAY OF THE FESTIVAL" (JOHN 7:37) : The Feast of Sukkot and the Gift of the Spirit 5:30 pm Supper 6:15 pm - 7:45 pm Presentation Caldwell Dominican Motherhouse Registration appreciated by September 20, 2018 Fee: $25 - $35 (Pay Within Your Means) Sukkot in origin was the final Israelite harvest feast and one of the three annual pilgrimage festivals to the Jerusalem Temple. Because temporary shelters were set up for the festival, Sukkot also came to be associated with the wilderness wanderings following the Exodus from Egypt. In the New Testament, Jesus is portrayed as going up to Jerusalem to celebrate this feast. Jesus beckons those who thirst to come to him for drink, echoing a Wisdom theme from the Old Testament; Jesus then promises to give all who come to him the gift of the Holy Spirit. In this session we will begin with an overview of the history of the feast and some of its characteristic themes and practices. The main focus will be on John 7:37-39, the passage in which Jesus invites his disciples to receive the gift of the Spirit. Participants may find it helpful to bring a Bible with them. Presenters: Paul Sansone |

Remembering God's initial Call and one's response can reignite our heart's desire to be more deeply allied with our spiritual journey. During this evening, we will reflect, remember, and express our foundational religious experience in an attempt to understand its impact on our life. Presenters: Jane Selinske |
