Website and Courses
If you've not been on our website for the study centre, please do. And let me know if any of it doesn't work or doesn't make sense!!
You'll see there that we have started two courses. The first is on Sunday and is a new course looking at the Nicene Creed and the Christian doctrines it tackles. I have a small group of 4 following that course and our discussions have been really interesting and challenging. On Monday evenings, we are doing our Intro to the OT again, but this time taking 12 weeks over it as the first time through - last year - was much too rushed. We are a larger group which is very encouraging - 12 all told. From about 5 different countries.
We have also put a Faroese page on the site which a very brief explanation of what we are doing. You can check that out as well if you like!!

New Year
We had a great time back in the UK over the New Year where we not only spent time with Robert and Kristina and spouses, but also were able to celebrate Simon's parents' Golden Wedding Anniversary on January 2nd. I'll post some pictures when I get around to it!
It was also good to be able to return to BHC and see everyone there. We were really encouraged to see new faces and to hear of recent conversions.
All of the Advent and Christmas services and activities seemed to go well, for which we are very grateful. One of the highlights was a baptismal service where 5 people were baptised, including three from ICP's Chinese Fellowship, a group that only started last spring.
Back in Prague and the activities of the new year are about to begin properly. Simon goes off to the UK on Sunday for a week at Trinity College in Bristol as part of his MA studies. That means Dorit is on her own in Prague - she won't be drawn on whether that is good or not!
As soon as Simon returns, the next two courses start: on Sunday 24th we begin a new course called "We Believe..." which is looking at the basic Christian beliefs as presented in the Nicene Creed. The next day, we start our Monday evening course, "Introduction to the Old Testament". This was first offered on Sundays in the autumn but we have revised it and expanded it slightly. One of the problems last time was the lack of time for discussion of some of the issues, so we have turned this into a double course - 12 weeks instead of 6. As with our other courses, more details are on the website, www.icpstudycentre.cz.
