Peter Mayer and I are the authors of God's Standard or Gold Standard? Studies in Proverbs. It's a three session series. We presented the Bible study on Friday August 21st at the CWA.
You can check it out by going to www.elca.org and click on video, go to friday, bible study
The focus verse for session one is

The text is from Proverbs 22:
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
and favor is better than silver or gold.
2The rich and the poor have this in common:
the LORD is the maker of them all.

Peter has written a song which summarizes the text.
You can download it and two other songs for FREE

here is MORE THAN SILVER OR GOLD
We walk as one
Oh Lord our maker
Both rich and poor
Oh Lord our maker
Through sun and shadow
Oh Lord our maker
Who names us and claims us
More than silver or gold

We lend we borrow
Lord lift us higher
Through joy and sorrow
Lord lift us higher
Today tomorrow
Lord lift us higher
You name us and claim us
More than silver or gold

Draw us together
Oh Lord our new song
To serve each other
Oh Lord our new song
In your care forever
Oh Lord our new song
Who names us and claims us
More than silver or gold
Who names us and claims us
More than silver or gold

I have decided to do a "blitz" around this series-
On Sunday night we have a study at Sarah's house
On Monday am we have a study at church
On Monday night we have a study at Julie's house
On Tuesday am we have a study at church
On Saturday am we have a men's group studying the series @ church

On Sunday night, Brenda a member of the group, brought her ipod and ipod speakers. She joyfully shared the song with us. It was GREAT!

We just started this schedule on the past Sunday. Folks are excited to Open Scripture and
join the conversation. Please pray for our groups as we continue our journey.
God's peace,
Pastor Ronald T. Glusenkamp
