Christ in the Old Testament

This year in the Secondary Chapels we studied Christ in the OT.  Here is a great summary that was found on the web, it is part of a sermon from Tim Keller. 

Here are some responses of students to the chapel theme this year:

• I learned that Jesus was shown a lot in the Old Testament, which I had not realized before.
• I never realized how much the Old Testament points to Jesus.
• I learned that the Bible is true
• I learned how everything was planned from the beginning, and how Jesus was with the people.
• How God had a detailed plan to save his people and began to reveal it in the Old Testament.
• I loved looking at Bible stories I was so used to, with different eyes.
• Jesus is everywhere!
• I learned that when Moses struck the rock, the rock represented Jesus.
• Jesus is the Lion and the Lamb!
• I learned you reap what you sow!

 We are thankful for all the ways the Lord has worked in the lives of the students this year!

BCA Christmas Program: A Baby is Bjorn

The talented Music and Theater class worked hard all fall to present the BCA Christmas program: A Baby is Bjorn.  The music was all very familiar as it used Abba songs with the words changed to tell the Christmas story!  It was a fun night of new Christmas songs.

BCA Secondary Retreat Fall 2010

Each fall the BCA secondary students spend a few days at a wonderful conference center near Bran. It's a time for them to develop stronger relationships with each other and with the Lord!  The retreat began with a 3 hour train ride north the city of Brasov!

This year our speaker was David Wright who shared with the students about developing a stronger relationship with the Lord.

Some of the eleventh graders relax on a swing!

The students really enjoy the opportunity to get out of the city and just be in the outdoors!

Lots of hustling as the soccer field turned into ultimate Frisbee!

Mr. P. and Mr. McNew enjoy just watching the students have fun!
