2nd Graders Discover the Meaning of the Passover Seder

Mrs. Welch's second grade students feasted Friday morning on Passover Seder plates. Wait, you say - isn't it the wrong time of year for that? You're correct it is, but it is never the wrong time of year to learn and experience something new!

The students spent the week studying the ten plagues of Egypt and the meaning of the Passover Seder.

The Passover Seder plate is a plate containing symbolic foods used during the Passover Seder. Each of the six items arranged on the plate has special significance to the retelling of the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The children bravely sampled all of the items which included: horseradish, apples and raisins, parsley, salted water, grape juice and matzo bread. Mrs. Welch brilliantly and emotionally explained the meaning of each item on the plate and how it relates to the bondage and slavery of the Israelites and then the freedom only received from God.

Senior Class Attends Apologetics Conference at Charleston Southern University

On Friday, high school Bible teachers, Chris Kuzdale and Quinn Disrud, along with the senior class traveled to Charleston Southern University to attend the Endure Conference. This year, the annual apologetics conference, hosted by CSU's College of Christian Studies, dove in and dissected the call of Christians in relationships of all kinds. The topics discussed varied from the importance of a Christ-centered family to friendship and relationship advice.

Personally, I found the Endure Conference to be a reminder of the call to live out the love of Christ in all areas and aspects of my life. The discussion regarding friendships emphasized the necessity of God honoring friends who build me up and challenge me in my faith. The senior class thoroughly enjoyed and learned from the professors and discussions that occurred at the conference.
