Merry Christmas from SCC

As we draw to the end of 2006, we want to thank all the SCC staff and students for their participation in our devotional project this semester....your insights have been challenging and enriching for so many people....we have received dozens of feedback emails from people from the SCC world and beyond who have been blessed by your reflections.

2007 will be an exciting year of moving forward and encountering God's goodness and love in more ways than we can imagine! We have a stack of fresh projects going on at college, and they will be our new focus, so the daily devotional emails/blog entries will be paused for a while, so stay tuned to the new developments in our chapels and campus life! (check out our website at www.scc.edu.au to stay in the loop.)

We wish all our readers and contributors a special Christmas and pray you will continue to find fresh ways to draw closer to our amazing Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ in the holiday season and beyond!

Welcome to the SCC devotional blog!

Here at Southern Cross College, we value the way the Spirit can breathe upon all of our lives - so that all of us (not just staff or lecturers or students who have been studying at a certain level for a certain amount of time) can hear from God - and not just in compartmentalised devotional moments; rather, our devotional life flows into and out of the other aspects of our lives (such as 'practical ministry', relationships at work and family....and even study!). We also appreciate that our spirituality is not formed in a vacuum; rather, we can all come to a greater knowledge and love of God as we share our understanding and experience of God with one another (this sharing extends beyond our immediate community down through the history of the church and the communities that wrote and canonised the Scriptures).

With this in mind, we have begun a devotional project: several of the subjects offered this semester include a 10% assessment requirement of writing 2 x 1 page devotional reflections relating to that subject. Then we compile the reflections into groups of seven and send them as a weekly email to the SCC community, enabling us to share our perspectives on God and continue to integrate our study with our spirituality.

So feel free to join us on our devotional journey; if you would like to be added to the list of people to receive the weekly email, send an email to [email protected] with 'devotional subscribe' in the subject line. Or if you prefer to read a day at a time, feel free to read here on our blog, or subscribe to the daily feed offered here by feedblitz.
