Precept Seminar

This past Saturday I attended a Precept/Women Alive Seminar held in St. Jacobs. Anything to do with Precept I enjoy. My friend, Donna Chapman, had emailed me about it and said she was going and several of our friends from Guelph were also going. It is through Donna that I started doing Bible studies using Precept materials.

The Seminar registration was at 8:30 a.m. It was hard to get up at 6:00 a.m. for me. No one should have to get up before 7:00 in the morning. St. Jacobs is about a hour and ten minutes from St Marys, so I felt I needed to leave shortly after 7:00. Jack had given me a good idea where the church was located in St. Jacobs, but I wanted to leave plenty of time in case I couldn't find it. He is pretty good at remembering where everything is located and he gave me good directions.

There were to be four women that were teaching sessions during the day. We chose one and stayed with her for the four sessions. I chose Darla Walker. She has a personal ministry called Her Hope Communications. The sessions dealt with the life of Joseph and were very profitable. We also had special music that was very uplifting. During the time when we were all together, Ruth Coghill challenged us in memorizing Scripture. We worked on Psalm 8 together.

It was great to spend time with Donna and to find out about the Precept classes that she is teaching this fall. She is teaching Psalms at Guelph Bible Chapel and at St. George's Anglican Church. Also she is teaching one of the Lord Series Studies at the Chapel. She has been teaching for almost 20 years and has touched hundreds of women with the Word of God. I'm very thankful that she has been part of my walk with the Lord. She has encouraged me and challenged me in my ministry for the Lord. Because of her I started teaching Precept classes.
