SPY Challenge
Spring 2013!
It's time to get serious....... Are you up to a challenge?
We hope so!
Your challenge - should you choose to accept it - is to engage with the Gospel according to John. Not get engaged - as in planning a wedding - but read it - think about it - reflect on it - pray about it and consider how it applies to your life!
The Challenge is going to have six parts. The first one is Preconceived Notions. In Step One, you need the read the WHOLE BOOK! Ackkkkk! Yes, you heard correctly, we said the WHOLE Book of the Gospel of John! Read it. Think about themes that jump out at you - consider what words or phrases are there a lot and see if you learn anything new about Jesus. Surely- something will jump out at you that you didn't know before - or you will see something in a new light. Journal about it. We'll give you the prompts to respond to. Then - you will choose one passage - at least two verses long - to memorize. This CANNOT include John 11:35 - "Jesus wept" - that would be faaaarrr too easy - and not worthy of the amazing brain that God has given you.
After that - we will have five other studies from the Gospel according to John for you to take part in.
So - six parts - six weeks. Got it? There will be a wee bit of a grace period - but not much.
The prize? We think it's pretty good..... Monikido at WildPlay Nanaimo. Whether this is offered free - or at a greatly reduced price will depend on the size of the group choosing to take part in the challenge. (We do have a budget we need to follow ya know).
So - come along and play with us. Tom, Tessa and Rosanne are gonna do it too!
Consider your commitment - the biggest part is the first part - reading the whole book. After that - it's going to be less than an hour a week - but hey - getting into the WORD needs to part of our life day by day.
We are looking to make this an online adventure - but that just may not be reality! IF not - it'll be a printed thing!
Don't like to write what you think? We know it's a challenge for some... maybe you can come up with another way to show us that you are taking part.
