“OK, everyone in the van.”
With that I walked out of the church and got into Big Sexy. (The unofficial name for our church van) About a minute later the 5 members of my morning Bible Study had crawled into the van and we were off.
About 15 seconds later the first voice popped up and said, “Adam, where are we going?” I was prepared for this question and told them that we were going on a field trip. “Our Bible Study needs to be on location.” Within a few minutes we had weaved our way into town and pulled into the parking lot of a little cafe downtown, Sweeties.
With wide eyes the owner of Sweeties greeted us. I could almost see the dread in his eyes when he saw 6 people cheerily waddle into his establishment at 6:20 AM. I said, “do you mind if we have our Bible Study here this morning?” He said sure and I told the students to order whatever they wanted.
After a few minutes we were all settled in and ready to go. With that, our Bible Study progressed as normal and we worked our way through Daniel 11. A very tough passage. The coffee helped, but all the students (and me!) were still confused.
It was a whale of a way to do a Bible Study. I look forward to more of that in the future. Perhaps the neutral location will even help bring in more of my regular students? It can’t hurt.
