Thursday evening, October 27, is a special night in the Carey calendar. It is sENDing and is held in Lecture Rooms 1 and 2 from 7pm-8:30pm. Today I would like to give you a special invitation to attend and to let you know we would love to see you there.
sENDing is an evening when we celebrate the end of another academic year at Carey. Most years about 200 people turn up and we do the following:
· as Principal I acknowledge staff who have reached being at Carey for 5 years or 10 years
· the student convener and other Carey friends are thanked for their work throughout the year
· Pastoral Leadership Students and Youth Pastoral Leadership students are awarded their Diplomas in Pastoral Leadership
· The Pastoral Leadership students have produced their own DVD in which they talk about highlights from their Carey study
· John Tucker (Director of Ministry Training) and Brian Krum (Director of Youth Ministry Training) present their “2010 Top Ten”
· Awards are given to the best supporting church, to the supervisor/mentor who has been outstanding, to the PL student who has developed the most, and to the outstanding preacher
· Merrilyn Withers (National Team Leader, Baptist Youth Ministries) will be the guest speaker – she is awesome!
· To thank God for his faithfulness to us as a College
· And there will be plenty of singing and prayer as we celebrate with our Pastoral Leadership students as they head out to ministry and mission
· Oh, it keeps getting better, there is an amazing supper provided free of charge!
I think we have had a great year together at Carey Baptist College and if you are in Auckland this week please be encouraged to come along and celebrate with us.
It is hard to believe this is the last week of classes for 2010! You are all in my prayers – may God give you discipline to finish all those assignments off, and may he give you a good opportunity to rest and recharge the batteries over summer.
See you on Thursday!!
Charles
