Confession Time

There’s been a lot of lasts this week.

Last Scripture lesson, Last Bible Study, Last ISCF talk. Just finished my last Soulies talk.

BUT, this is my first blog entry!

It’s December 2008 and so that means that my 2 years as an MTS Apprentice here at St. Faith’s is almost up.

Next year I will be at Moore college, studying and being a bit of a Greek geek. The good news is I will also be staying at St. Faith’s as a student minister, and serving at the 10:30 congregation and doing KidsPlus on Friday arvo’s.

But still, even though I will still be around, it is sad to say goodbye to so much of what I have been a part of.

Let me share with you some of the highlights of my 2 years here:

Seeing the car park full on Sunday nights

Bakehouse and L90 Coffee

All the questions I have received from Scripture kids.

Seeing kids from our area just rock up on Friday arvo to Kidsplus - and then end up learning all about Jesus and praying to Him.

Spending time in books, reading, studying and learning more about people, Jesus and his mission for our lives

Seeing people take on Jesus’ mission for their lives.

The KidsPlus leaders (Evie, Claire, Verity, Tim, Paul, Nathan, Dan, Hayley, Flick, Jacquie, Luke, Ellen) - you’re hard work for the gospel has been a great encouragement to me personally.

Long Bible Studies on Wednesday nights - the nights when you forget what time it is, and just enjoy learning and living with each other.

The encouragement and love I have received from the 8:30 congregation. It is exciting to see how a lifetime of following Jesus can make such godly people.
