Resurrection Eggs!
For many years now I have used the commercially made 'dozen eggs' children's tool to teach the Easter Story to my students.
Each of the 12 'egg' cups in the egg carton contains a small symbol from the Biblical account eg. a stone to represent the stone rolled over the tomb; a wine cup; a piece of rope, etc. All these are presented in a certain order and can be used with or without the reading of the appropriate scripture, depending on the group you are teaching.
These kits can be made at home or purchased at a Christian bookstore, costing between $15.to $20. Blessings carries these Ressurection Eggs and I'm sure Mitchell's does too.

A Breakthrough for English in Europe?
*The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.**
**As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.**
**In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling** **kan** be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.**
**Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.**
**By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".**
**During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o"** **kan** be dropd from vords**kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi** **bl riten styl.**
**Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.**
**Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.**
**If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.*

Sites for training short-term cross-cultural workers
An open letter to the members of the Southern Ontario ESL Ministries Coop:
As you may be aware many short term missions are focused on teaching English as a foreign language. (Just check out the report from the Czech republic on this blogspot.)There is a demand for training venues before those short-term teams begin their overseas assignments. Are there any programs who would be willing to serve as practice teaching sites? Details of how this would work out can be negotiated.
As world Christians this would be an opportunity to participate in God's global plan. A little experience makes a big difference.
Please reply to Anita Cassidy: anitacassidy@sympatico.ca
In Christ,
Marion Chang

TWO WAYS TO LIVE
From January to March at our church, Leaside Bible Chapel, we ran a course similar to Alpha called, "Christianity Explored". It follows a similar format to Alpha but the discussions center around a walk through the Gospel of Mark. Rico Tice of All Souls Church in London, UK introduces the discussions on DVD. It's an excellent course. Here is a powerpoint presentation of the way CE teaches facilitators to present the Gospel Message to interested friends. You can check it out here. It is suitable for people from all backgrounds, and of course you can adapt it by using your own stick figures to share the Gospel with someone on the spot.
