This week is SEED Week at FCS – Students Equipped to be Exciting Disciples. We are starting each morning off with chapel – and have 5 different guests this week sharing their stories of God in their lives, along with a time of praise and worship. Parents are welcome to join us any morning this week, at 8:10 in our gym to hear the messages and join us in worship. Please also pray for our SEED Week, and our guests and students as we seek to know more about God and His story. See the Story. Live the Story!
Joel DeHaan's (Middle School Bible and Language Arts) deep hope is that you know that you are a Child of God, that you can recognize that truth in others, and that together we can celebrate who God made each of his Children to be. His story line is Loved by God, Loving Others. 8th-Grade students have been working on writing their own Deep Hopes. It has been so cool to be able to read these student hopes, knowing that God has called each one of them to share His Love with the world.
Love is an action!

The Outdoor Education students joined Michigan Trails Week last week by each hiking a mile on a local trail! Here's what a few 5th graders said about their hike:
"I was a creation enjoyer by seeing and praising God's goodness!"
"I was creation enjoying by seeing what he has done and how beautiful animals and landscapes are."
"I was (or all of us were) creation enjoying by enjoying creation on our HIKE!"
"We were creation enjoying when we went for a hike in the world God created."

Mrs. Bull’s (5th Outdoor Edu.) deep hope is that you will grasp the goodness of God. As you engage with the world, use discernment to see the good, be the good, and share the good.
Story Line - See the Good. Be the Good. Share the Good.
She is currently inviting students to “See the Goodness of God'' by investigating fascinating parts of creation! Our most recent interesting creature is the CuttleFish (Thanks to Jayden’s suggestion!). Here’s what the 5th Graders said:
“I see that God can create things that we would never think would be real. It tells us that God is amazing.”
“It is horrifyingly cool that God created it with the ability to change colors and textures.”
“It’s God’s animal and is really cool that God made it.”
“He made it to survive.”
“It can become a water balloon, but not one to throw at your friends.”
“God created them to be very sneaky and stealthy and hypnotizing. God probably created them for a reason!”
“It’s a very big talent when it can hypnotize other sea animals!”
“It has powers like aliens and tentacles and can change colors.”
“It can change colors to get his prey.”
“It is amazing God created that fish!”
“It mesmerizes animals.”
Family Groups! Today we met our new family groups, and our new 7th and 8th grade leaders helped us to get to know each other and do some activities together. We are looking forward to spending a great year together!
Maestra Alleman's (4/5th Spanish Immersion) Deep Hope is that "we are servant leaders who look for opportunities to show God's Love, combat injustice, and choose to be unique even when the world says to conform." Her storyline is "We are Servant Leaders." This year her class introduced this by cutting up the Deep Hope, and rewriting it in teams using our own words. Her class will spend time throughout the year looking for opportunities to show God's story through different service projects!
20 year later....Let us never forget!
8:46 am: The first American Airlines plane hit the World Trade Center North Tower.
9:03 am: The South Tower was hit by a second plane.
9:37 am: A third plane collided with the Pentagon.
