The role of the sessions coordinator is a vital one. It is the role that keeps COSDU moving throughout the semester when there are no ‘special’ events. It is the role that is directly responsible for the weekly spiritual feeding of the people in this community. This may sound very daunting and it actually was for me.
As always, it is just getting over that first hurdle. It is getting over that fear of taking responsibility and diving into the deep waiting for God to catch you. That’s what I did. And it was worth it.
For some reason the role appealed when I first ran for sessions coordinator. Of course, I was quite nervous about taking it on but there was that nagging feeling that I had to do it and that God will hold my hand as I take on this tall task and He did.
The role is simple. Just decide what goes on every Friday. You will have the lovely assistance of the chaplains, Fr Thinh and Sr Delma to help with the decision-making on the sessions you organise. Most of all, I’m sure God will not leave you in the deep end. The sky is the limit when it comes to the kind of sessions you can organise. It can be the normal talk or be a games night or prayer night or… ANYTHING!
So really, there isn’t much to the role at all. It is a fulfilling one, one whereby you can directly see the effects of what you have worked for with very tangible results. Ultimately, those don’t matter and what matters is the kind of heart you carry out this calling and it is this that shows.
Don’t worry about whether you are capable of this position because you will have heaps of support – from your committee, your chaplains and most of all, your God. This in my opinion can get you past any mountain!
