Building Faith

 Good afternoon Parents, 

It has been a beautiful week on campus. Pastor Flood shared a great lesson with us in chapel. The Gospel CHANGES us!! Ask your student to share with you something they have learned from chapel. Our students are also doing a fantastic job of helping to set up and take down for chapel each week. 

MEMORY VERSE PASS! I am in need of clorox wipes or disinfectant cleaner ( I have plenty of paper towels to clean with). Students who bring either item will receive a memory verse pass work 100 points. 

6th Grade: SO much happening in our first period classes! The most exciting thing we are learning is to build our faith house. Every house must have a solid foundation. We conquered that last week. This week we have focused on building our walls. Our four walls will consist of four truths per wall. It is very exciting to watch these truths come alive to our students. 

Next Friday is the last day to bring in something for our "Date Night" basket that will be auctioned off at the fall festival. Each student is encouraged to bring one item for our basket. Examples: Candles, a soft throw, gift card to a restaurant or florist, ect. 

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD is underway. If you are new to LCS this is a BIG deal. Last year our school collected over 500 boxes!! How exciting!! We have set a goal this year of 600!!! We can do it!! I have challenged my 6th grade class to 50 shoe boxes! If we reach that goal I will give the kids a pizza party!! If we go over 50 boxes then I will add dessert! Packing a shoe box is such a wonderful way as a family to get involved in missions. 

7th Grade: We are knee deep in learning what it means to be holy. Jesus is our perfect example of holiness. We as believers, in the flesh, struggle daily with this. We are walking through the truths that we are called to live by in order to strive for holiness. In 1 Peter 1, Peter encourages us by quoting Jesus, Therefore be holy because I am holy. This is one of my favorite units to teach. It is convicting and a good reminder to me of who God created us to be!

8th Grade: The girls have been learning about absolute truth and the difference between our opinion and truth. We have had some great discussion on various topics. We also have looked to scripture and what God teaches us about truth. The girls are learning how culture and society will play a part in shaping thier worldview and why it is so important to know and understand scripture. 

9th Grade: We just finished studying the book of Matthew. Students studied the life of Christ according to Matthew's persective. They learned what makes the book of Matthew unique. Monday will start our study on Mark and compare and contrast this to Matthew. 

Enjoy your week!!
