Good Classes Continue

I am teaching a writing class one-on-one with a student who needs help in his writing. We are having a great time in class with two computers side by side, referencing textbooks and discussing how to form sentences, paragraphs, and eventually theses and research papers. We are rehearsing how to make headers and footers on the page and how to footnote, endnote, and make a bibliography. These are all helpful to any preacher.

I am being challenged to use Microsoft Word, because that is the program my student has and uses. I am more familiar with Corel WordPerfect. I believe it is easier than Word to use in some of the operations.

My hope is that both teacher and student will be challenged to write more and to do more research and then put the research on paper.

My other class is New Testament Survey, and this class is very interesting for both teacher and students. We rehearse the stories we have heard all of our lives, and we try to learn some things that may have slipped by us as we have read the New Testament. This course gives an overview of the New Testament and hopefully challenges us to live for Jesus Christ in a more perfect way.

Classes Going Well

The first classes at Antioch Baptist College have gone well. We do not have as many students as we would like, but the classes are enjoyable. The one thing that I do like about a small class is the participation that can be done. We can talk almost one on one with each student and share more from the few students that we have. This is very helpful and educational. Questions may also be asked more frequently.

If you would like to meet with one of the classes, just stop by the school at class times, and I am sure the teachers will allow you to sit in one class without any charge. You may enjoy it and later enroll for a class or two.

Thanks to everyone who has given special offerings and to those who give monthly offerings to help the school. We are very appreciative of your dedication to do this.

If you would like to sponsor a student to ABC or give special donations, you may contact the school at (513) 617-0400 (Dr. Dan Ferrell), or you may send your donation to:

Groundhog Day

Yesterday was Groundhog Day, and I hear that the groundhog saw his shadow. That means that we will have six more weeks of bad weather. Of course, we all know that this old German superstition has no merit, because we all know that we are going to have six more weeks of "ify" weather anyway.

If you still have not decided to take a class at Antioch Baptist College, you still have time. Come to one of the classes this week, beginning at 6:00 PM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and just sit in to see if you would like to take the class.

Classes Continue

I did not have my classes on Friday evening at Antioch Baptist College because of the weather, but we are intending to be in full service beginning Monday. I stayed in my house from Tuesday through Sunday. The weather was icy and snowy.

My classes are "New Testament Survey" and "Christian Writing." In the Christian Writing class, we will do some rehearsal of English grammar and practice writing articles, theses, letters, etc. There is still time to register for this class. Survey begins at 6:00 PM, and Christian Writing begins at 8:00 PM. The school meets on North Commerce Park Drive off Shepherd Lane from I-75.
