A NOTE FROM MRS. POWERS
To help our students grow in their faith, they are journaling and reflecting after each week’s chapel lesson. In last week’s chapel, the third grade students challenged us to have an “attitude of gratitude”. As I reflect on this, I can’t help but count my many blessings. One of them is the honor of watching your children grow in their faith as they learn to live like Christ. Each child has a purpose and unique talents, and they are growing in different areas. I am privileged to see this growth over the course of the years; not just in elementary school but also as they move through the upper school and mature into adult Christians. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to see each one develop their talents and bring glory to our Father. I am truly blessed by the many smiles and hugs everyday.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you
.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Blessings,
Carrie A. Powers
