Three years and counting...

It is almost three years since Ally and I arrived in Canada (May 6, 2006) and since I started my first class (May 8, 2006). I now only have 7 classes left in the three years of cohort based in-ministry learning (June 11 is the last class), and then I just have 6 electives left which I will do over part-time the next couple of years.

This past Tuesday was the Graduation Chapel at which graduating students were recognised and awards given to returning students (that's me!). The interesting piece was that I won 2 awards:
The first was the Dr. Stewart Boehmer Scholarship for a student with leadership potential for pastoral ministry
The second was the Yorkminster award for Homiletics, a preaching award for the integration of scripture and culture.

So, that's my highlight of the week. Now back to writing sermons and assignments!
