Planning and Pizza

I took the opportunity over the Easter holidays to have two planning and training sessions with students who were selected to serve on the ISCF Executives in their schools.

The first was held with students from Grenville Secondary School. They are all in Form 5, but they were the only ones who responded to the call for students to help with planning the meetings. We did some brainstorming, and came up with topics which could be used in the ISCF meetings the next term. We also discussed plans for the school assembly that ISCF was asked to lead on the first day of the new term.

The second training session took the format of a Pizza Planning Party at my apartment. There were two students each from Beacon High School, Boca Secondary and Anglican High School.

Praying for the ISCF groups in their schools

After the prayer time, I challenged them from 1 Timothy 4:12, focusing on them being an example of the believer since they are the leaders of the ISCF groups in their schools. Then it was time to prepare lunch.

Some of them had no idea what they were doing...

Eventually they figured out how to cut a tomato

Team work in making ah bess juice!!

Ariel was the professional dough-maker and she's only in Form 1!

While waiting for the pizza to cook, the students were put into groups to make up a song encouraging their friends to join ISCF. Here are some excerpts from their original compositions:

"ISCF is the best

Come join us and you’ll get success

Christ is coming soon

So get your act together...

This is the story of our lives

That Christ

Is coming back for us

So we’re sending a word

For everybody now

Let Christ be known and heard

Come join us now"

Composing their ISCF song

"It’s about you

It’s about me

It’s about hope

It’s about dreams

It’s about friends that pray together

To meet our destiny"

We then spent time brainstorming topics that could be covered at ISCF meetings this term, and drafted a schedule which they could follow.

 Finally, the pizza was ready.

It tastes as good as it looks :)

For the final session, the students were taught a technique for leading a bible study - asking questions that help to discover the principles that could be drawn from any Bible passage. They each took a turn to lead in part of a bible study.

Practice makes perfect

Please keep these student leaders in prayer as they seek To Know Christ and Make Him Known in their schools.
