Well, it would be a bummer to have my favorite part be over with already, but I love the very beginning of Genesis and the creation stories. (That chapter camp was by far my favorite).
For those that took the class, you may remember the book "At the Start," which is a really fresh translation of Genesis. For example, here is a part of what we read today... pure poetry:
At the start Elohim created the skies and the earth
--the earth was tohu-bohu
darkness on the face of the deep
and the breath of Elohim
hovering on the face of the waters--
Elohim said
Let light be
Light was
Elohim saw the light How good!
Elohim separated the light from the darkness
Elohim called to the light "Day"
To the darkness he called "Night"
It was evening, it was morning
One day
