Meeting this Thursday!

Hey guys, don't forget to come to group this Thursday. We'll be having a discussion led by Tim Richardson. He has asked me to put the following up here for you to read for the meeting. Please do so. Thanks and see you Thursday!

Reading: When he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even in front of the door; and he was speaking the word to them. Then some people came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. And when they could not bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and after having dug through it, they let down the mat on which the paralytic lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, "Why does this fellow speak in this way? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" At once Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were discussing these questions among themselves; and he said to them, "Why do you raise such questions in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Stand up and take your mat and walk'? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralytic --"I say to you, stand up, take your mat and go to your home." And he stood up, and immediately took the mat and went out before all of them; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!" - Mark 2:1-12

Question: What do we mean by the words body, soul, mind, heart and spirit?

Try to read all of it or the most that you can, you'll be able to enjoy the teaching more and pay more attention if you're already familiar with the material.
Unfortunately I'm not able to make it to group again tonight, I'm sorry!!!! I really want to but it's my sister, Ali's bday and I have to cook dinner for the family.
About the guys/girls separate groups- we will do that but probably not until after Pascha. Don't worry, it's happen! :)
