I've recovered from my assessed service. Now I have four week's without a service so I shall be wading into units 7 - 10. I'm on the assignment for 7 and I've already taken a little peek at the others. As I am retired and so have plenty of time I am aiming to finish the course by a year September or failing that the following March. However I wont beat myself up if it takes longer. After all I feel called to preach and I am doing that very thing. In fact I think I will have withdrawal symptoms in the next few weeks.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
