Thanksgiving Concert: An Evening of Gratitude and Worship

What an incredible event! This year's Thanksgiving Concert was truly a celebration and display of how Christ has abundantly blessed this ministry. May He be praised!

Our lower school students, along with our PCA band and high school choir, showcased their musical talents while entertaining a "standing room only" crowd full of family and friends. The evening included some of our favorite Thanksgiving program traditions including our kindergartners reciting Psalm 100 and our 5th graders performing a rousing rendition of "Frost is on the Pumpkin". It was a glorious night of worship and thanksgiving!

Spreading the Love of Jesus

Approaching the Christmas season with the expectation of giving rather than receiving sets one up to better understand what God desires of His children. Mrs. Welch's 2nd graders are on their way to grasping that concept as they worked diligently creating handmade Christmas ornaments, then helped Mrs. Cass with decorating the Operation Christmas Child tree in the Welcome Center.

Operation Christmas Child is a Samaritan's Purse project that collects "shoe boxes" filled with goodies to distribute to children all over the world. I asked some of the students about decorating the tree and what it meant to give to others...

Asher Walters: "We made stars with Christmas song words on them. I want people to know the importance of giving."

Elizabeth Craft: "At church, we prayed for Fanny who lives in Honduras and needs love for Christmas."

Gracie Czerwinski: "I like kids to get excited for Christmas!"

Ella Dimitrious (after she made sure I spelled her last name correctly, lol): "I want kids to be happy, peaceful and to know comfort."

My favorite response came from the entire class when they said that they want everyone to know the love of God. Praise the Lord!
