Seminary Year Begins

February 10 our new seminary classes began. Our first two classes were Preaching and Liturgics. These Certificate I classes are offered on Sat. morning with the Morning Prayer service in between the two classes. During the week Padre offers two Certificate III classes. On Tuesday he offers Major Prophets and on Thursday he offers Revelation. Classes last 8 weeks and then the next set are offered. Our Morning Prayer service gives the students a chance to learn how to lead the service and also a chance to deliver a 5 minute homily. Friendly faces are a good place to get rid of those beginner's butterflies! Here is our opening day with students listening intently as they learn that their Preaching class final exams (10 minute homilies) are going to be filmed. To top it all off, Padre is inviting people to come and provide a "real" congregation. Keep these students in your prayers and pray no one passes out from nerves!
