CCA 8th Graders Celebrated
Survey Says...
Chapel October 29, 2021
Last week, October 29th, the 4th graders opened chapel. Jesse Kueker from Trinity Lutheran Church led it. He opened chapel with a prayer and then discussed how you can tell if someone has joy. He said that when Jesus is with you, you have joy. He had four volunteers, Matthew, Collin, Lexi, and Caroline, come forward to help him with a demonstration. The demonstration showed that happiness is circumstantial, but joy is with us, even in tough and sad situations. John 16:20 says “Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.” God has promised that, even when we are sad or mad, if God is with us, we will have joy. Psalms 4:6-8 says, “Many are asking, “Who will show us any good?” Let the light of Your face shine on us, O Lord. You have filled my heart with more happiness than they have when there is much grain and wine. I will lie down and sleep in peace. O Lord, You alone keep me safe.” When everything in life is going well and we have everything we want, it does not even compare to what it feels like when God is with us. Jesus knows what it is like to feel abandoned, betrayed, and hated, but He still hung on the cross to save us with joy because He had the Holy Spirit. --Marlee

Patriot Puff: A Student Council Event
FCA 10/29
Last Friday, October 29, there was a high school FCA meeting in the cafeteria. Students played human tic-tac-toe. Then Mr. Adams read Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” He talked about how to be bold and courageous while playing sports. Mr. Adams gave an example. He told us about a high school team coach that prayed with his team at all of their games. Some lawyers got involved and the school had to tell him to stop. The players decided to be bold and pray with their parents after the game in the middle of the field. We should all be bold and courageous in everything we do for the Lord. --Marlee
