Our Last Class!

We had a great meeting last night. Dee Gross presented her paper on her personal verse and did a wonderful job of sharing and showing us the depth of her passage.

After some discussion and a suggestion regarding the papers, it was decided that the paper on Article #10 would be optional. I was asked to submit my own paper on Article #10 to the class as a way of demonstrating what my perceptions and approach are. I gladly agreed and will have a paper for each of you within the next two weeks (I'm finishing my paper on Article #5 this week). If you have already completed work on Article #10, please feel free to submit it for review.

Also, send us your papers on your personal verses sometime over the next few weeks. If you have completed them, send us what you have. If you haven't started yet, send us a summary of your verses and a few paragraphs about why you think God gave you that verse and how it has impacted you. If you need some input, please give one of us (Peter or myself) a call or send us a note.

Our last session will be next Thursday evening. It will be an informal discussion about our experiences with the class. Let's focus on the following questions to get things started:

1. What things did you most enjoy about the class?
2. What things could use some improvement?
3. What things did you find helpful?
4. What things were not helpful?
   
5. Do you have any suggestions concerning the curriculum or materials?
6. What would you think of an extended schedule with meetings once a month instead of once a week?
7. Are you willing to be a speaker at the graduation service in April? We would need about 7 minutes of testimony concerning your time in Apollos.

Some folks have papers due in order to be eligible to graduate. We'll compile a list of papers sometime early next week.
