Back to School

Back to School

It is only days away. I know that this is either comforting and exciting or horribly depressing, but none the less it is true. School is about to begin.   And in 9 months after all the homework, assignments, teacher inservice days, football games, embarrassing moments in PE, lockers stuck, and oh yeah learning, you will not be the same. You will grow.

That is true not only of the students but also of the parents. It is amazing what you learn about your children, motivation, patience, and even yourself as you encourage and support your kids in learning. Parents you too will grow.

That is the thing about school. It has its responsibilities, it has its hard work, but it is ripe with opportunity. Think of all the possibilities. There will be opportunities for renewing old friendships and making new friends. There will be opportunities to share Christ and even just to demonstrate His impact on your life by the way you do life. There will be opportunities to excel and demonstrate your work ethic. You will be given opportunities to make decisions and then live into them.   This is not only true for the students, but for the parents and even for the teachers.

This week at church we will be talk about the importance and significance of what we as a church can do to support those who are in school.

Don’t be tardy,

Pastor Chris
