A Step Back In Time

This past week the students were challenged to dig deeper into biblical history through taking the class “Introduction to the Old Testament” with Professor Don Taylor, DTh. Don’s teachings challenged the students to read scripture differently. They began to see how the Bible is not two separate books, but rather, it is a narrative as a whole.

One of the students, Peyton Arnold, remarked this about the class:
"I loved this class. I now feel more confident in my biblical knowledge. It was helpful to able to understand the timeline of the Old Testament and how it can help me understand how it relates and connects to the New Testament. It helped me to solidify my understanding of the New Covenant that was made through Jesus in the New Testament."

This week also turned out to be very hectic but fun for the students as they retold the Old Testament by script writing and directing a video project. On Friday their hard work was displayed for all, as the staff were invited to join the students to watch the directors cut of the film.

At camp this week the staff and students were able to bond over Tuesday night’s community
fireside. The night was filled with good food and good company as we all gathered together in Club Coco to enjoy some pizza and games. It was a well needed break from all the busyness of student life.
