Grace Before Meals - Week Seven, Families: Part 2
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.. (Isaiah 41:10)
Last week we chatted about how life is tough and often the only way to get through another day is with God's grace.
This week most are aware of this, as one of our little students has had to undergo a very serious operation and will be in the Stollery hospital for sometime until he can come back to school.
My call this week (and the next) is from our knees, the place we all go when the world and life has dropped us down to our knees and we are only surviving by our faith in God. I ask all of you as families, to please pray together, continuously, and ask God to send His mercy to this little boy and his family. Your modeling of prayer and faith is healing to your children, too. When things are tough; we pull together, we pray and we let God and the Spirit move as they will. What would we do without our faith?
Let's Pray
Jesus,
You're with us.
Though you are not seen,
We know that you stay by our side.
Jesus,
You love us,
More than we could know,
And you feel each tear that we cry.
Jesus,
We trust you,
To take hold of our hands,
Until this little one is recovered and well.
Jesus,
You promise to,
Comfort and care,
Until we all are laughing and playing again.
Thank you Jesus.
Amen.
Parents’ views on curriculum will help make kids Future Ready
The Government of Alberta is launching a new series of initiatives known as “Future Ready” that will co-ordinate and improve education and skills training to better prepare kids for success in a changing economy.
The first initiative to launch under Future Ready includes an online survey to ensure that parents and other concerned Albertans have their say during a comprehensive review of the province’s K-12 curriculum.
Assembly 2T - Thank you for Friends
A Reading from Corinthians 13: 4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Grade 2L Criminal Investigators
Today 2L got to be CSI's (Criminal Study of Insects) for the afternoon! They needed to solve the crime of the missing honey, while exploring what characteristics make an insect an insect, the types of mouths insects have, where they live and the food chain. They even made their very own bug catcher! By the end of the afternoon they were able to apprehend the suspect and have the honey returned!
