Our Grade Two class took a trip to city hall on Monday in connection with their Creation Studies Unit "One Body Many Parts" . The students are learning how every person is an important part of our community body and though different, we are all precious in His sight. (1 Corinthians 12: We Are God’s People. The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; And though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:12)
In connection with this idea, each student wrote a letter of encouragement and thanks to a councilor, the mayor, the fire chief or another member of our local government and promised to pray for her or him in his work as the head of our community. These cards were delivered to the mayor. He was very grateful for our promise of prayer support and thankful for the notes for the council members. Mayor McMullan said he would deliver the cards and mention them at the city council meeting that evening.
Marlene Bergsma reports on Municipal Government in Wednesday, November 23rd Standard (p. A7). Mayor McMullan quoted one of our student's note during the city council meeting, saying, "I'm glad we have playgrounds, libraries and pools.... I am thankful for the work you do. I will pray for you in your work." Mayor McMullan concludes, "Thank you...I will need your prayers."
Young hearts at service for the Lord!
