A MESSAGE FROM MR. VINSON
Did you know that every morning our faculty gathers at 7:20am before the start of the day to pray for our students? I love being able to being each morning with our hearts and minds focused on the Author and Finisher of our faith! Each year we have a specific prayer list we pray over and I wanted to share this year’s list with you so you can be praying at home too.
We are praying for:
The continued health and safety of teachers, students and families
Our faculty and students to see the image of God in each other in a way that shapes our daily interactions with each other
The ability to see each day on campus as a gift from God to be used for His glory
Wisdom to acclimate new students and to keep distance learning students connected
The development of meaningful, spiritual relationships between faculty and students
LAST WEEK IN CHAPEL
Coach Carr spoke on using our creative gifts (given to us by God) for God’s glory rather than our own, the character trait of the Lewis House. Using Genesis and the story of Noah’s Ark and the Tower of Babel, Coach Carr showed how man can either use his gifts to serve God or self. Check out this video put together by Mr. Higgins regarding this character trait we hope to see in all of our students.
AUGUST MEMORY VERSE: Micah 6:8 (ESV)
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
