August is ticking away, and a blissfully long summer is coming to an end. The summer has not been a quiet one at the school with new windows, a few new floors, a great new playground, new paint, and the usual fury of cleaning, repairing, and 'spiffing up' in preparation for 2015-16. We are in need a few volunteers to pull together the final items before September. If you are able to help with any of these (see the list at the end of this letter), we'd appreciate the extra needed hands to complete our work!!
The school year's theme will be "Plugging in to God's Power". Our potential can never be met by trying to apply our own power, but only by plugging in to God as Power source can we become what He intends. Our theme verses will be John 15:5. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." and Ephesians 5:8 "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light."
We all have our own ways of shining God's light; each of our created as unique 'minds'.
How can we plug in? In what ways do each of us connect to God and renew our strength? How do we encourage one another in this?
What happens when we unplug and try to run on our own power and 'steam'?
When we plug in as a community of learners, parents, supporters, what light do we emit? What does a community of light do? Are their blinders between our light and the community?
