BE AN EXAMPLE
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."
1 Timothy 4:12

Prayer is such a blessing in the life of believers. We as JCS staff covet your prayers every day as we teach and instruct God's precious gifts to us! We have an opportunity for you to join with other parents/grandparents in prayer! On the first and third Fridays of each month (when there is school) we have "Parents in Prayer." This group will meet via Zoom at 1pm beginning Friday, October 1. We would love to have you join us! If Fridays at 1pm are difficult for you to attend, please reach out to Michelle and she is willing to look at other options for times. If you have any questions or even prayer requests, please contact Michelle Burnside at michpage@gmail.com. |

Spiritual emphasis week will be September 27- October 1 and is a weeklong exercise in spiritual growth. The focus will be this year’s schoolwide Be an Example reflecting on the verse found in 1 Timothy 4:12 “Don’t let anyone look down on your because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
This year will look different than prior years as there will not be a need for Serve Day drivers, popcans collected for Georgetown Harmony Homes, or baked goods delivered to church and local public service offices. However, on Tuesday, September 28 we are hosting a presenter – Jan Merz from BucketFillers101.com – and she will share with us the application for the book by Carol McCloud – Have You Filled a Bucket Today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qet_yLlCCIo. Watch your teacher communication for more details.
We are excited and thankful for efforts from teachers and administration to observe this week with chapels, connecting the theme intentionally in the classrooms, and having Jen Metz speak. Praising God for 11 consecutive years of introducing the school theme into the hearts of us all!
If you’d like the opportunity to add this book to your home library or give as a gift, please click here to pre-order your paperback copy - $10.

Parents/Guardians- Do you have a free lunch break once or twice a month? We would love to have you hang out on the playground and assist the awesome teachers and staff of JCS! The recess "supervisor" watches the kids play and is an extra set of hands for the teachers. It is also a fun way to interact with your kids while they are at school. If you need volunteer points, this is a great way to get them, but we can use your help even if you don't need points. The sign up genius link is below and if you have any questions, please email mary.zeilstra@gmail.com.
