We had a guest speaker today:  Dr. Joseph Ward is recently retired and lives in Raleigh.  He has served as pastor of PCUSA congregations in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and both Raleigh and Warsaw NC.  He and his wife susan have four adult children; two live in the Raleigh area and two in other states.  A favorite area of study and publication is Jewish roots of Christianity and the person of Jesus.  This has led him into several joint studies and speaking engagements in synagogues as well as three visits to the land of Israel/Palestine.  We thank him for joining us today!
