Small group has continued to be a weekly highlight. I'm always impressed with how students are taking time to consider how they can love their neighbors and their God. At the same time, it has been a joy to be a part of encouraging new spiritual growth and development in their lives. We're planning a mini-retreat the night of the 23rd to take time as a group to solidify our relationships and our vision for the campus. We're also looking forward to the Compelling conference November 13th through the 15th. It's a time for students from all over Michigan to gather and explore what it means to be a faithful witness for Christ in their lives on campus.
I had the privilege of speaking at our large group meeting last Thursday night. I spoke on the power of imaginative prayer and led the group through Jeremiah 30 and 31. More on that is coming in the newsletter I'll be sending out this weekend. If you don't receive it, make sure to send me your address in an e-mail at DraneMR@hotmail.com.
I remember thinking in the past, "What do staff workers really do behind the scenes?" Today was a perfect example of finding the answer. I'm working on the "Philippians" track for the Compelling conference and spent a good deal of my time preparing that today. It was wonderful to finally have a day to sit down at home here for a big chunk of time to study and plan. While studying Philippians, the students in the track will be learning the basic elements of how to prepare a Bible Study. I'm looking forward to more small group interactions that weekend.
