A "Typical" Week of CEM

"Typical Week" of CEM is a misnomer; there are no typical weeks! After one month of weeks with almost-the-same-schedule, we will enter a month where EVERY weekend we will be traveling to a retreat/another country (see the side-bar calendar). But to give you an idea of what the life of a CEMiste is most-often like, I have composed the schedule below:

We begin each day with a 30 minute devotional with singing and the reading of a Psalm. At 9 AM, we start our three hours of classes. Then we have a 2 hour lunch break, because we are in France.

What happens after lunch:
Monday afternoon:
1:30-3:30 we have a meeting where we talked about what we learned the past week.
5-6 I help out 2 women at the church lead an English class for 3-6 year olds at the local community center.
6:30-8 Choir Practice

Tuesday Afternoon:
2:30-5 Prepare for “Club Cool”. Rehearse puppet show and skits.
5-6 Club Cool, a weekly Bible fun time for kids ages 3-18
7-8 Prayer time with the church family

Wednesday Afternoon:
2-5 help children with their homework at the church OR help at a program for autistic children OR work on a painting project with residents at a local nursing home

Thursday Afternoon:
2-5 Attend a Bible study on the book of Hebrews at Eliane’s apartment. She always provides an excellent spread of cookies and chocolates. She has been hosting a Bible study for at least the past 10 years.
8-10 Attend a Bible Study at Constantin’s dorm room. He lives in University housing. We have just started meeting there and are hoping to create a space where we can invite University students to study with us.

Friday
2-5 St. Maurs Rest Home: Sing, play games and talk to nursing home residents.

Saturday

7-10 PM Every other week, attend a Youth Group Get-Together for ages 12-25.

Sunday
10-12:30 Bible Class and Worship Service
4-6 Soccer practice and match with church soccer team

A typical CEM girl's night with not-so-typical fancy French desserts.
