We are breathing a sigh of relief around here after a busy, but WONDERFUL Christian Education Week. What a blessing it was to share our school with so many visitors - pastors, grandparents, senior friends, and yes, parents! It was not only a reminder of the treasure we have in this school, but to the very wide reach of support we enjoy.
This week, we are paying special note to some of our partners in Christian Education. This morning, we were encouraged by our literal neighbours at Smithville Christian High School as their principal, Ted Harris led our staff in devotions. He shared words from 1 Corinthians 3: "It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building." There were even elegant words of poetry as he expounded on our unique relationship!
This week we will also be spending some time with our sister school John Knox Christian School in Stoney Creek who are celebrating Christian Education week. On Wednesday, we will travel down with grades 1-8 to view their drama production "Not your average Joe."
Knowing that we are not chasing a vision of Christian Education on our own, but do so alongside other schools is a treasure. Please pray this week for the great work that goes on across our region, our province, our country, and our world in service of planting seeds, watering them, and proclaiming the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
