Why Should I Join Pro-Deo?
“Or why shouldn’t you?” asks Becky Stokes
In the aim of getting some
Christis readers to turn up to this thing I have
compiled a list of 10 good reasons not to come.
- I’m not artistic.
- Are you sure? O.K. — you’re sure. It
doesn’t matter. In an hour and a half workshop
enthusiasm is far more important than talent —
don’t bury yours in the ground.
- I’m not a Christian.
- Not a problem. Anyone interested is welcome to come.
We’re hoping Pro Deo will be a chance for
non-Christians to come to a Christian run group without
feeling out of place.
- I don’t want to make a fool of myself.
- David said; “I will play music before the Lord. And
I will be even more undignified than this [he is referring to
dancing in a loin cloth in the gateway to Jerusalem] and be
humble in my own sight” (2 Samuel 7, v 21–22)
— and he was a king!
- I don’t feel like it.
- There is nothing to put you in a good mood faster than
playing with glue and paints! Don’t miss out on an
opportunity to do something beautiful for God because
you’ve had a bad week.
- I haven’t got time.
- You don’t have to come to every workshop.
It’s not a great time commitment and would make a
relaxing stop off between your 9 – 5 day in the library
and going home to write your essay until midnight!
- I don’t know anyone else who’s going.
- Talk someone into it, or else come and find some more
daring friends! Hopefully we’ll get a good mix of
people so please don’t worry about coming along
alone.
- I can’t afford it.
- Pro Deo is free. There will be a collection at the end of
each session towards paying for publicity and materials but
it is entirely voluntary.
- It’s on at the same time as
Neighbours
- It is indeed starting at 5.30pm. Could you consider
getting a friend to let you know whether Debbie and Mal get
together?
- I don’t know where Heslington church is.
- Hes church is the big church diagonally opposite
Heslington Main Street. Cross the road outside Derwent
porters lodge and walk diagonally through the accommodation
blocks there. At the top right corner is a path going over a
bridge leading to Hes church’s main door.
- I forgot.
- Cut out our timetable from Christians on Campus and stick
it on your notice board! If you would like to be on the Pro
Deo mailing list contact Fiona — Goodricke pigeon holes
