MR. WHEELER’S WEEKLY WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

As we continue our sprint toward the finish line of this school year, there are so many meaningful moments that remind us just how special this season is, especially for our senior families.

Senior parents, we would love the opportunity to pause and celebrate with you.

You are warmly invited to join us for our Senior Parent Appreciation Breakfast on Thursday, April 30th at 8:30 AM in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR). This breakfast is a small but heartfelt way for us to say thank you—for your trust, your partnership and the countless ways you have supported both your student and Trinity Christian School throughout the years.

From the first day you entrusted your child to Trinity to this final stretch toward graduation, you have been an essential part of their journey. Your prayers, encouragement and investment have helped shape who they are becoming, not only academically, but spiritually as well.

As graduation draws near, we want to take this moment to honor you, celebrate alongside you and simply say: we are grateful for you!

We hope you will join us for this special time together.

LAST WEEK IN CHAPEL

Students learned from Ephesians 4:1–2 as Mr. Reed Shackelford called students to walk in a manner worthy of the gospel, a life shaped not by self-exaltation but by Christlike fruit. This worthy walk is marked by humility, gentleness, patience, and forbearance. These virtues are not mere ideals but are perfectly embodied and seen in Jesus Christ. Shack noted, as Philippians 2:5–7 reveals, Christ humbled Himself, taking the form of a servant and laying aside His rights for the sake of others. His gentleness drew near to the weak, His patience endured the failings of His disciples, and in forbearance He bore the weight of sinners. To walk worthy, then, is to imitate Christ, relying on His grace to see and be obedient to these fruits in our daily relationships.
