Joy

This month, we are focusing on JOY.

1 Peter 1:8-9 says that " You love him even though you have never seen him.

Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with

a glorious, inexpressible joy.

The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls"

What is JOY?

Today we heard that we sometimes confuse happiness with joy. But joy is living each day knowing that we have been given a precious gift by a God who loves and cares for us.

According to Rick Warren, "Joy is knowing that God is in control
of all the details of my life, the confidence that ultimately everything is
going to be alright, and the determined choice to praise God in every situation."

Give Thanks

This week we are spending some time to pause and be thankful. 

While we strive to always remember to give thanks and be grateful, this week our country
sets apart a day to spend reflecting and giving thanks. 

In our chapel this week, we also set apart time to reflect. 

Our grade 1 students led us in Praise and Thanksgiving

The Grade 6 students recited Psalm 100 - A Psalm of Thanksgiving:

Our Grade 2 students wrote some ideas of what they were thankful for and shared them in the form of an acrostic poem that spelled Praise & Thanksgiving.

We pray that you will have a blessed Thanksgiving as you reflect on God's good and perfect gifts.
