A Book on the Boundary:
A Study of Deuteronomy

Led by Rev. Mike Gregg

September 11-November 20

@ 6:15 PM in Room 202

The Israelites are on the verge of entering the Promised Land. Moses delivers a pep talk to guide the people as they look ahead to their new lives as followers of the One God. Deuteronomy is a book on the boundaries. The reader is taken to the boundary of the land, the edge of the future of the Hebrew people, and the threshold of a new understanding of God. This study will explore the limits of the text while increasing our knowledge of God's law.

Chapters 1-4: The Spies and Remembering the Wilderness Journey

Chapters 4-6: The Ten Commandments

Chapters 7-11: Taking the Land, the Golden Calf, and the New Tablets

Chapters 12-26: The Deuteronomic Code: Worship, Diet, Leadership, and Identity

Chapters 27-28: Blessings and Curses

Chapters 29-30: Renewal of the Covenant and Exhortation to Obedience

Chapters 31-34: Joshua Becomes Leader, The Song of Moses, and Moses Dies

The members of the Ledbetter family have all had a long career in the graphic arts, producing commercial art, fine art drawings and paintings, and photography. Alice, Gene and then Anne majored in graphic arts in college.

Alice and Gene Ledbetter worked in the commercial arts industry for many years, and then in the late 1970's they founded A La Carte Graphics, a commercial art studio. Their daughter Anne later joined them in this family art studio. Anne is continuing the family tradition with a business call "Bark Photography."
