Why Glasgow (South)?The heartbeat of the Class was the message of God's love in Jesus Christ. The desire of every leader was to share with others the truth that had transformed their own lives - the truth that Jesus was God's Son and had given His life on the Cross for fallen people. For everyone who attended the Class it was a message they were quickly familar with - as, Sunday by Sunday, in chats going round the Running Course or in the mini-bus to East Kilbride baths, the wonderful plan of God to forgive sinful people and transform them into Christ-like people was explained.
For Andy Hunter the realisation that he needed personally to ask for forgiveness and give his life over to Jesus came in 1980 at the age of 13. So after a Monday night at Polnoon he was last to be dropped off and in the front seat of the mini-bus prayed asking Jesus to take charge of his life. Many others over the years did so in various places and at various stages of their lives.
For many ex-Southers Jesus continues to be the centre of their lives - for others perhaps the centrality of Jesus in their lives has faded over the years. If you are more in the latter group then as well as enjoying the memories of Crusaders why not take some time to remember the message.
