I ordered some food, sat back and chatted with a couple of law students from the UNH law school in town. Just about the time my food arrived, Rev. Jason Wells got up to talk about the Dead Sea Scrolls. I had heard a lot about the Dead Sea Scrolls before, but as I listened to his talk, I realized I really didn't know that much about them. It was clear, though, the Rev. Wells did. He talked for about forty minutes, giving us a history of the discovery of the scrolls, a quick introduction to their contents and to the community that created them and subsequently hid them in the caves. I'll admit that I originally went to Theology on Tap hoping to just meet other young adults in my area but I was pleasantly surprised to have learned a lot too. 
After the talk the Capital Deanery Young Adult Group raffled off a bottle of wine as a door prize and I guess luck was with me that night. I won! So I'll be enjoying a little Shiraz for the next week or two. Maybe I will invite a couple of my new friends over for dinner and let them share it with me. Too bad they don't have a Theology on Tap in December. But they did mention another Concord event, Cafe Night, on November 22nd. Maybe I will check that out! Cheers, everyone!
