We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people—the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel that has come to you.
Colossians 1;3-6

PACS Parents,
In our normally slotted Chapel time this past week, our students were broken out into Discussion Groups (by grade and by gender) to build upon the previous week’s message from our Distinguished Speaker, Pastor Sky Pratt. These Discussion Groups are facilitated by our Prince faculty, but the discussions and conversations within these groups are student-driven. We see great value in this method for the following reasons:
- It allows the students to express what, from the Distinguished Speaker’s message, particularly stood out to them as being important.
- It gives the students an opportunity to learn and gain some insight from one another.
- It provides a “safe” place for our students to be emotionally vulnerable with one another.
- It builds and strengthens a sense of community within that group of students.
Some great questions for you and your family to discuss this week are a review of the questions that were discussed in our students’ Discussion Groups. The following are a few of those questions:
- Read Proverbs 22:1; Psalm 15:1-5; Proverbs 10:9 together.
- “The Key Question that Pastor Pratt asked was ‘How much is your integrity worth?’ Why, in your opinion, is this such an important question? How do other people answer this question? How do you answer this question?”
- “Pastor Pratt made the statement: ‘Authentic people draw people.’ Why is this a true statement?”
- “Do you agree that sometimes honesty is really hard and sometimes lying is really easy? Why is that?”
- “Pastor Pratt made the point, ‘You will never regret being honest…you will always regret dishonesty.’ If that’s the case, why do we still struggle with dishonesty?”
- “Pastor Pratt made the comment, ‘Tragically, the people we lie to the most are the people we are closest to.’ Why is this the case so often?”
- How can I pray for you?
As always, it really is an honor and privilege to be a part of what God is doing in the lives of these students!

Director of Spiritual Life
