The Campus @ CCC
Pastor Scott Downing
To the question, "What did you least like about the class?" the responses were similar on the anonymous evaluation sheets:
"That it ended."
"Wasn't long enough!"
"Went by too fast."
So it isn't suprizing that comments also included the desire to meet for more sessions. This is so encouraging!
I enjoyed these comments in particular:
"Harmon did a great job as facilitator, very knowledgeable, approachable and encouraged everyone to share and ask questions. Our homework was relevant and helpful, too. My prayer life has improved and I am growing closer to God."
"Praise God for leading Harmon to facilitate this class. Pray he will do more. It was so exciting to see people grow."
These comments are from Harmon West's class, Everyday Prayer.
Each week as I taught my class on Wednesday evening, I would see Harmon's group come together, set up the table and gather the chairs around it. Sometimes my class would end before theirs and I would leave the CCC offices with the light on in the Community Room and a group huddled for discussion and prayer. To my right, meeting in Shawn's office, Scott Esco's class, Emerging Videos were in dialog about significant life issues.
There were other classes: Train Wreck at Dysfunction Junction; Classic Christianity; What's in a Name?; Buddha and Christ. Some had small gatherings, others pretty large. Some went the distance, others struggled.
But all of it was good.
And all that is coming will build on the brand new foundation placed in the first classes. What will be offered? Here is a partial list of hosts and topics (look for a brochure with finalized titles, times and teachers by Sunday, December 11):
- Protect Your Marriage. Bob and Cheryl Burton will host this eight-week study for married couples.
- Everyday Challenges, Everyday Victories. Harmon West on 8 daily stresses/challenges for which God has designed overcoming victory.
- Life Lessons from James. Janet Downing facilitates discussion and application from this practical book of ancient wisdom.
- Body by Jesus. Scott Downing leads the discussion/study on why Jesus created the Church.
Look for the blue "Life Development" tent on Sundays for more information and Campus sign up.
