Community News - Week 16

Good Evening!

We had such a wonderful time with all the ladies that could make it out on Friday night!  Thanks again Donna for hosting and for putting so much thought and love into each and every detail.  I really appreciated getting to know several of you better as we talked about our growing up years, homeschooling, character issues and the GRACE of God.

This weekend I've been pondering the many ways that Christ uses a broken me to raise up these children I call mine.  Reflecting on the stories that were shared I couldn't help but praise God that He has brought us all together this year in community with one another to encourage one another and lift each other up.  Parenting is hard, homeschooling is hard and my character flaws are brought to light more often then I like to admit.  I know I'm not good enough to do this "holy hard work" on my own.  It's through the redemption found only in Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit living in me that I'm able to carry out the calling that He's placed on my heart.   Take courage that though we may not "be enough" He is.

I played this song over and over last week.  The chorus has been an encouragement to me.


If I should speak then let it be
Of the grace that is greater than all my sin
Of when justice was served and where mercy wins
Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in
Oh to tell you my story is to tell of Him

Community News - Week 13

Good Afternoon,
I am looking forward to seeing all of your sweet faces tomorrow morning!  It's hard to believe that half the year is behind us already.  Following you will find our weekly announcements please read through them so you're prepared for our time together this week.

Pizza Day:
Tomorrow is Pizza Day.  Yippee!

Start Time:
Open assembly begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. in the Worship Center.  Please address restroom needs prior to this time.  This coming quarter (weeks 13-18) is my favorite!  Each week your student will study Great Artists during our Fine Art block.  Due to the fun art projects we have planned its even more important that we start promptly in order to give the students plenty of time for all of their subjects.

Recess:
Supervisors - Siedenburg / Richardson
During open assembly this week we'll be reminding both students and parents of our playtime rules and guidelines.

State Capital Tour:
*Reminder the Capital Tour is January 26th.
