This year The Embassy is meeting at Wilfrid Laurier University, across the street from the University of Waterloo. They are meeting in the totally renovated Turret Nightclub on the fourth floor of the Student Centre. What a great venue.
After typically dynamic Embassy worship, the Embassy pastor,Joe Wahba, opened his series on the book of Acts where he began by talking about the truth of the Resurrection. Joe waded right into the heart of the matter, isolating key issues. If the ‘resurrection’ seems strange, it tells us as much about ourselves as it does about resurrection.

The core issue was not if it seems true ( worldview) but whether or not it actually is true. Did it happen? Borrowing heavily from one of CMC’s 'patron saints', N.T. Wright he challenged students to change the way they approached the entire issue. It was intelligent and engaging... Good stuff... Solid.
Afterwards, there was Pizza along with opportunities to sign up for Red Frogs or involvement in small groups etc. The turret had all sorts of cool side rooms that were perfect for hospitality. It was a great start to what looks like a great year.
