From the Presidents desk

The year is almost over and the time of exams is drawing near. The students are running around in a panic, wondering where they put their notes, crib sheets and assignment lists. The teachers are getting that end of year gleam in their eyes. That one that speaks of late nights spent grading papers, asking that age old question: “Why did I assign this long of a paper again this year?!” If only we could remember this look when we are making up the assignment list for the next term.

The building is decorated and looks great. Mrs B has out done herself this year. Even the old couch pit some how looks better. A new air hockey table has joined the foosball table in the lobby. It is looking more like a student center all the time. With the tables, games, couches and chairs it is a place to hang out after class. The future holds more new items for this area. Who knows, maybe one day it will sport an internet connection, coffee bar and snack machine.

Grad this year is on Thursday. We wanted to give the students a jump on travel for the holidays. After we changed the date from Friday, one of the in-house churches booked Friday evening for a Christmas program. So the building will be filled with cheer and song Tuesday the 13th, Thursday the 15th and now Friday the 16th at 7:00 PM each evening. All are open to the public and you are welcome to join us.

Speaking of “in-house” churches. Let me explain. After many years of absence, this building is once again being used as a neighborhood church. In fact, there are two that meet here. We have a church plant called Westgate Christian Centre meeting here on Saturday evening. It began as a home bible study and when they outgrew the home opted to keep the meeting on Saturday. Small now but growing.

The second church which meets on Sunday is called CrossWay Community Church. They also outgrew their old rental sight and have joined us here. It is exciting to have these two families meeting here. They are helping to fulfill the original vision of the builders of the building. We have alumni in both congregations and hope that some of our students may make a home with them as well.
