December at Capernwray

Happy New Year.

Let me take you back in time all the way back ago to sum up my December here at Capernwray. Wow… So much has happened in such a short time.

During this Christmas season we have had lectures on the Upper Room Discourse by Rob, a series on Colossians  by a guest speaker, 1 Corinthians by Mark Thomas (the school’s director, he SUPER smart). Right now we are on the series on The Early Life of Abraham by Rob, it is probably been one of my favorite lecture series so far. We had our first test on the 2nd a test that required every single one of my brain cells. It was an easy memory verse test on nine verses.

I finished reading the book Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claibounrne and it was amazing. I would recommend it each and every one of you. It was my second time reading, it was just as good as the first time and I learnt just as much as the second time around. I will hopefully writing more about it some time soon.

On the 6th we had a Christmassy service in the lounge instead of the conference hall. We sang Christmas songs and on of the staff did a short message on honoring God in everything we do.

After the Sunday morning service on the 13 me and some other students went for a walk to the Capernwray Diving Center. It was around an hour walk, it was so fun walking talking and just joking around. The diving center is not part of the school it’s an old quarry that is full of water for diving. They put a whole punch of random stuff on the bottom for divers to see. We didn’t go diving we just watched other people dive.

That evening we had a different evening church service. It was lead by other students and it was a huge success. It was all about worship and glorifying God through everything we do.

As part of the school’s outreach a bunch of student did this traveling Christmas play. They would go to different church and preform the play. On December 14th they preformed the play for the students at school. It was good and it had its funny moments.

On the 16 we had our Christmas banquet in the evening. We all dressed up and a nice meal served to us by the staff. After the meal we had a Scottish dance which so fun but tiring.

December 17 was our last day at the school before our departure into the world. We only had one lecture that day the rest of the day was for packing and cleaning up our room. That evening we had a games night with all the other students. We played some of the funnest games I have ever played. It was great that they were all new games so I can teach all my friends. At 9pm we left on the Coach to London and that is were my adventure begins…
