Weeks.Fourteen.Fifteen.Reflections

Weeks Fourteen and Fifteen coming to a close marks the end of our Fall Semester. Week Fifteen was highlighted by our Tuesday evening, Biblical Theology of Christian Worship Class. Sanctus students made excellent presentations and led in a time of prayer. The whole class engaged in thanksgiving prayers and then intercession primarily focused on the nation of Canada.

Weeks.Twelve.Thirteen.Reflections

Weeks 12 and 13 were a blur with regular Sanctus classes and activities combined with preparations for the ONE HOPE Benefit Concerts held at PORTICO Community Church. The concert featured The PORTICO Arts Ministries in concert with the SARA GROVES BAND. Sanctus students participated in the set up as well the musical portions of the evening as soloists, choir and band members. All the hard work was well worth the combined efforts.

Week.Eleven.Reflections

11.1 Greg Wyton, founding pastor of New Hope Community Church in London, Ontario, was with us for a one day intensive on personal devotional prayer and bible reading. Greg shared from his own life, even opening his prayer journal for us to see. What a terrific and inspiring time. Hope to have you back soon Greg – thanks so much for coming and investing in the lives of our Sanctus students this “Genesis Year.”
