Growth in All Areas This past year was one of growth. Growth in classes offered growth in fellowship. A course in New Testament Survey was offered on Monday evening for either credit or non-credit in addition to the regular Wednesday night class. Also, a course was offered off campus in Palestine this year for the first time. A group from the Chair helped the church at Frankston in a campaign for Christ. Other activities included attending a workshop in Austin, a sunrise service, the annual Junior- Senior banquet, and a week-end retreat for area high school students. Social activities included weekly skating trips to Corsicana, the annual Christmas party, and wiener roasts. This past year was also a time of sharing - joy and tears, accomplishment and defeat, the routine and not so routine. But most of all they shared Jesus. They have watched each other grow, encouraged each other, slowed to help one another, and prayed with and for one another. t ' ....,.,,. Singing is included in the weekly devotionals.
