Parent's Night, Bible Class

Photos from our Parent's Night. February 2009.

Bible Class is the senior Sunday school component of our church which is Year 7 (Form 3 in the 'old' days...) and up. Bible Class, or 'BC' for short, is held every Monday night from the middle of February right through to the end of November.

At the beginning of every year we have a parent's night.

This is where we invite parents along with their families to a dinner. All our members the weeks before were sent home with invitations for their parents as well as an open invite announced at all our ethnic services on Sunday.

On the evening... before the dinner is served we have the joy of sharing with our parents our plans for the year as well as a encouraging word from our Reverend Setefano. He is called Tama by all the children in our parish - meaning father in Samoan.
Tama opened our evening with a short devotion which was based upon Paul's first letter to Timothy.

1 Timothy 4:12 (New International Version)

¹²Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

We were encouraged by Tama, to work hard to SHOW and LEAD people to Jesus through our actions. Not to let our age become a barrier.

Following the devotion, our plans were shared and an opportunity given to our parents for any questions or comments they had. This time didn't last very long as all our parents were very happy with the plans and were ready for dinner!

It was a successful evening where everyone left with smiles. The leaders hugely blessed by the presence of all who attended and the loving words of encouragement offered by our parents who stood to speak before our closing prayer. God continue to keep us in his steadfast love.
