This week, the interns have had their heads ploughed thoroughly buried in the books as our teaching series on Revelation, church history and contemporary issues continue!
Last Saturday saw the 'May We Have Hope' sports day at the Laurel Avenue Community Centre. Upon arrival we were greeted with glorious sunshine and the perfect conditions persisted throughout the day! Sports and activities included a 5-a-side football, mini-olympic games, frisbee, basketball, circus skills and face-painting. A rough head count on the day yielded more than 200 people which was a huge encouragement!
This week, in our study on Revelation with Mark we explored the central character of the book – God! This involved looking at the titles God has through the course of the book and how they change. Similarly the persons of Trinity and the influences of prophecy in other books of the bible bring loomed large on the radar. Genuinely fascinating!
Church history marches on as we continued to wade through the steep tides of the reformation! Our journey took us through Luther’s gargantuan contributions to the movement (such as the translation of the NT into German), the theological principles behind the reformation and an in depth discussion into the role of the sacraments.
Theology 101 looked at the challenge of postmodernity and Jeanna and Naomi provided rich sustenance in the form of garlic and nettle soup and (slightly more traditionally, tomato soup.) The responses to postmodernism detailed in our packs provided fuel for stimulating discussion.
This week, placements have continued as normal, Just 10 continues, as does planning for the June Project.
Please be praying for us as we continue to work with students and in our placements. Pray for wisdom as we plan the June Project and for volunteers to sign up.
God bless,
Jason.
