NAC - Monday

I've been getting to bed so late, I decided today I better blog during the daylight hours. I started the day by singing with the worship team for the morning service. I was singing along with some old college friends, so it really brought back some memories. Somehow we didn't think to snap a picture of that, but you can also go to http://www.chog.org/ and click on the "Watch It Live" link. At least I think that previous services are available there, as well as current ones.

Rev. Herbert Banks was our speaker. He pastors a church in Michigan where an all white congregation merged with an all African-American congregation. His assignment today was to speak about Christian unity. He certainly was the appropriate person to handle that topic.

After lunch Janelle and I both attended conferences. Janelle's conference was about small groups, and mine was about being more effective through the use of narrative preaching (picture top right).

Since today was the first sunny day we've had here (did I mention the heat?), I snapped a few pix around campus. This is the Nicholson Library (below). When I was in school here, the main thing we used the library for was a place to ride sleds (okay, they were trays from the cafeteria).

This is the valley. AU has one of the most beautiful campuses of any college I've ever seen.

This is a shot of Reardon Auditorium. This is a beautiful concert hall, where our General Assembly will be meeting Tuesday and Wednesday.

Right across the street from Reardon Auitorium is Decker Hall, the University's main administration building, complete with welcome center for prospective students, class rooms, and astronomical observatory.

The Church of God (that's you) is certainly privileged to have such a high quality university. The beautiful campus is a bonus.
