This week’s chapel was led by Pastor Ada who is an Associate Pastor serving Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Olathe. He showed us several items from his backpack that run on the power of batteries. He used a voltage meter to test a battery and measure the stored energy it contained. So many useful tools, such as headlamps, smart watches, and phones have often been of no use to him because the batteries had no charge or power. Pastor reminded us that the power of the cross will never fail us because God’s power will never die. Through Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the dead, we receive the power of God and life everlasting with Him in heaven. God’s power is eveready and never runs dry!
Thank you to all the parents who have signed up for conferences. If you haven’t yet, please click on the Sign-Up Genius link in each teacher’s newsletter. A PTL Meeting attendance incentive is being offered to families: a parent attending the PTL meeting will receive one homework pass for each of their children in grades 4 – 8. We are enjoying the growth and learning we are witnessing as we work side-by-side with your children!
Verse to remember: “For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” – 1 Corinthians 1: 17 -18
