Week 3 on the 17th of March - the focus was on "Recalibrating Your Relationship to God"...but first - we reviewed week 2 and listened to questions, comments and impressions from the group...

| Mercy, Corrinne, William - with Daniella on the couch |
This class is quite lively; with lots to say...
Here the students are flipping through their books to last week's lesson and homework...
The current week's teaching always begins with a short lesson about worship and especially how it occurs within the cell group...
 |
| Attentive students! |
Kay Kay is a new believer and has so many questions...here he is expressing his bewilderment about the purpose of singing our worship to God...I love how willing he is to be candid with his questions!
Here Pastor Mark is praying to help soften our hearts and open our minds to the Lord...
...then we enjoyed a powerful and refreshing time of worship!
God's people expressing their devotion; each in their own individual way!
We learned that relationships are the highest value for God...so we relate to him through his Word, through Prayer and through Covenant...I love watching each student soak in these truths as many of them unlearn old beliefs and relearn a new way of seeing.

Week 4! Relating Through the Cross; Recalibrating Conflict Resolution...
 |
| Back: Kay Kay, Mercy, Daniella Front: William and Roger |
Our review/question/comments time was spent discussing the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, or Communion...
 |
| William and Roger |
 |
| Kay Kay and Mercy |
Then our students were thoroughly challenged by the teaching on Conflict Resolution...especially when Pastor Mark spoke of laying down our personal agenda in order to follow Christ's agenda, which is essential for unity in the Life Group as well as in all relationships...
 |
| The whole class! |
The discussion became quite lively and eye-opening when Pastor Mark spoke directly to the 'marrieds' in the room...reactions ranged from "but, if I set aside my agenda then what am I contributing to the relationship?"...
...to "the word 'conflict' puts butterflies in my stomach!"...
 |
| Peter is contemplating... |
Needless to say, each person left with much to think about and process during the coming week!
