Praising God for a Tremendous 2022/2023 School Year!

"A new command I give you: Love one another!" John 13:34 

Each year, it is the responsibility of the current sixth grade class to select the theme for the upcoming school year. After much intense debate and deliberation, last year's sixth graders selected "Love is Everything We Need" as our "battle cry" for the 2022/2023 school year.

As I spent time this past weekend reflecting upon the 2022/2023 school year, I was reminded of these precious memories that occurred and provided our students with numerous opportunities to share God's love with others:

Happy Mothers Day!

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phillippians 4:6-7 

As a teaching staff, we begin each school day by gathering together for devotions.

Throughout the year, every teacher takes a turn to share and reflect upon God’s word, as well lead us in prayer, because we believe that God works powerfully through prayer.

GRAB YOUR RUBY RED SLIPPERS AND GET READY BECAUSE... WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD OF OZ!

To God be the glory, great things He has done. Philippians 4:20 

This is an extremely exciting week as the St. Matthew gym transforms into the Emerald City! As we prepare for this week's performance of The Wizard of Oz, I am reminded of an interesting perspective that a former Superintendent of Michigan Lutheran Schools shared many years ago. Once I heard his connections between the Wizard of Oz and Christian Education, it endeared this movie even more to my heart as he shared this analogy:

COME AND JOIN US SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW!

Tomorrow is last day for Wizard of OZ presale tickets!

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.” James 1:9

When my children were young, I was always fascinated regarding how often they could memorize lines and even entire scenes from various movies and then just insert and recite them during various unique situations. Furthermore, as I keep dropping into Wizard of Oz practices, I am somewhat shocked and slightly impressed at how many of the actors’ lines I can also jump in and deliver by memory!

YOU ARE GUARANTEED AMAZING SEATS!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Jack Johnson is an American singer/song writer who is known for his songs that range in the soft rock and acoustic genre. A few weeks ago, as I was getting my haircut, a Jack Johnson song played through the studio’s sound system. “I love Jack Johnson” I professed, to which my hair stylist replied, “I absolutely love Jack Johnson too! In fact, I have a great Jack Johnson story!"
