September's Character Trait: Love
CCA has a monthly character trait, which is based on the fruits of the spirit written in Galatians 5:22-26. The students and staff implement these “fruits” into our everyday lives. This month’s character trait is love. The publication class selected three students and asked them, "What does love mean to you?" Here are their responses:
Teddy, from third grade, said, “Love is sharing.”
Kaylana, from seventh grade, said, “Love is supporting everybody and treating them like family.”
Tenth grader, Audrey, said, “Love is treating others the way Jesus would.”
1 Corinthians 16:14, NIV says: Do everything in love. --Kennedy Vaughn
