There continue to be real and tangible ways that God offers our community to serve others and to make a difference in the world. I am thankful to watch a few of them taking shape and providing evidence of God working in and through our communities:
a) The Caliper Project. Both Covenant and John Knox are participating in the Caliper project - a small way that we can literally roll up our sleeves and give in order to benefit others. We often ask God to provide healing where He wills it. That often happens through the advances of medical research and the gifts and talents he's blessed health professionals with. We are excited to participate in this in the knowledge that our contributions will help others understand the human body better, as God has created us!!!
b) The drama productions. Practices and organisational work for our spring productions are underway! These opportunities not only provide ours students with the opportunity to grow and develop in their gifts of expression and artistic production, but they also send a powerful message to our communities: That all of life belongs to God, and we can honour Him in many different ways. Look for more information on both plays. The promise to bless those who come to watch them with a great experience and a beautiful message!!
c) The overwhelming response at our information evenings. God is working through our schools, teachers, classrooms and students. This is obvious because our current families are talking about it! The reach and blessing that a Christian Education is and can be are being spread by word of mouth all over the region. We had the pleasure to meet with families who have been planning to send their child since they were born, others newly considering when they hadn't ever before, and still others who are brand new to the idea of Christian Education. We even had a family who found us by 'Googling' us...... They are looking for something better.
Praise God for the many and varied ways He shows Himself through the expected and unexpected!
