John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Hymn 221 Verse 1 – Blessed Jesus, At Your Word We are gathered all to hear you. Let our hearts and souls be stirred Now to seek and love and fear you, By your teachings, sweet and holy, Drawn from earth to love you solely. Hot Lunch None for this week.

We tend to paint quite a bit in here for art projects and even other subjects as well. So just that we maintain some sort of cleanliness I’d like those in ASAP. Thanks!

Forgotten Lunch? – Well, it happens! Oops! Just to make sure that if that oops ever happens, we have a back up. If you feel your child will benefit from having a “just-in case” meal then please send it in, and I will label it. (Cup o’ Soup, Easy Mac, Chef Boyardee, etc.)

XIII.

Encouragement to stay for Worship – Worship services are an important part of our school’s educational program, as was explained prior to enrollment. Worshipping is an outflow or response of faith, which we are nurturing through the school, therefore we strongly urge families to attend worship and stay for the whole service when the children come to sing. An additional problem occurs when people leave during the service as it is disruptive to worshippers and can also give the impression that worship is not important; we don’t want that message to be given to the children or other worshippers. Therefore, we ask that families take to heart the encouragement to stay for all of the worship service.
