Christ Covenant School is a community that loves, educates, and equips our students to transform the world for Jesus Christ.
|
 |
|
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Straight from the Head
|
As our school begins to enter the Holy Week
which Christians around the world celebrate,
it behooves us to remember again
the preeminent redemption story given to man.
How a man went from being a king to a thief in only a week.
How quickly the crowd changes their cry from "Hosanna" to "Crucify!"
How the one who came to serve so many was betrayed for a bag of money.
How the devil's desire to overthrow and reign became his very own undoing.
How a wounded and stricken body became the balm of healing for the nations.
How a cross meant to shame and despise turned to an emblem of eternal glory.
How death's fiercest blow brought eternal life to our wounded souls.
How the curse of hell and sin became the key that unlocked heaven.
How resurrection power came to live in the dead hearts of men.
How defeat becomes victory.
Hatred is overcome by love.
Strength made perfect in weakness.
And the bitter grave made sweet by the Prince of Life.
Of any and all days, Easter gives us the assurance that
No challenge is too daunting, no darkness too haunting,
and no situation too wanting that God's power cannot overcome.
In honor of our poetry week, I recommend a much better poem,
Robert Lee
Head of School
