Elementary Chapel today was hosted by the 2nd grades and Kindergarten. They talked about our theme this month: Serving and Loving. The different classes talked about the service projects that they were involved in this year, and Miss Durham shared about her future missionary trip to Prague, Czech Republic, to serve Jesus. Mrs. Yonker’s class led us in a song about “Learn it, Love it, Live it!” We also saw a video of pictures of the many serving happenings that our students, classes, and school has been involved in this year. We praise God that we can learn about him, and serve him and show love to others!

The SI 1st Graders were assigned 1 or 2 friends from Guatemala. Each child has the chance to write a book to their Guatemalan buddies and buy them shoes. They now are taking time after their lunch to pray for their Guatemala friends! Here is a note from the teacher: "I am just amazed at how the Lord can use these little ones to make an impact in the world for Him! They are loving to show God's light to others. In their own words: 'Nosotros podemos hacer a esos niños sentirse especiales porque ellos son creados espciales.' (We can make those children feel special because they are created special.) The sweet prayers of children! What a special bunch!!!"

Friday Family Groups: Today we met with our groups to talk about perseverance. In our circles, we talked about frustrations, feeling like giving up, and what God says about persevering. Gal. 6:9 tells us “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” One of our activities was to try to get a frozen penny out of an ice cube with limited tools. We then talked further how we felt and acted during that, and then we wrote on a star a dream or goal that we could hope to achieve with God’s help.

Chapel Friday: Evidence of the Spirit: Humility. Adam Forbes from Harvest Church shared with us about “Thinking of yourself less, and think of others more.” Our theme verse is from Phil 2:3-4 “ Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.” We were challenged in humility when we are with our siblings, families, or the people in our classroom. We sang some songs in worship and remembered that we can build our lives on Christ’s firm foundation, and he will never let us down.

Forgiveness Rocks Chapel: This morning we remembered the truths of Good Friday and Easter in our chapel. Our focus was on Jesus’s Love and Forgiveness. Our Middle School Dance Team did movements to “My Victory” by David Crowder. We sang about "Christ Alone", "The Wondrous Cross", and "Resurrection Power". We had a video about God’s Story of Easter. In addition, we also had our own Forgiveness video where different students talked about salvation and forgiveness, including pictures of our forgiveness rocks that we made a few weeks ago, and we were challenged to remember about how Jesus forgives us and to forgive others.

This week the First Spanish Immersion students made unleavened bread. The kids wanted to experience the “special bread” that God’s people eat the day they were set free from the Egyptian and that so many years later Jesus eat with his disciples at His last supper. We made the bread. We compared with regular bread and then we ate it. We finally took time to remember what Jesus had done in the cross and thanked him in prayer for his ultimate sacrifice. It melts my heart to see how this kiddos are learning and applying the Word of God!

Family Group Friday: Forgiveness Rocks! Today we talked about forgiveness in our family groups. We reflected on how Jesus forgives us, and we need to forgive others. Today’s verse, Col 3:13 says, “Bear with each other and forgive one another, if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” We talked about how forgiveness is tough, like carrying around a load of rocks, but God’s love and Holy Spirit can help us. We wrote on rocks about forgiveness, and we will be placing them around our school grounds to remind us about forgiveness.

All School Chapel Friday: today the 4th graders hosted our chapel about patience and self-control. They reminded us that patience is waiting happily, and self-control is learning to manage ourselves. We were able to share with those sitting around us some examples of patience and self-control. Mr. M. Folkema shared more on these virtues, and then we watched a Biblical video about David and King Saul. Maestra Dena shared with us about a story about sunflowers, and how we need to stop, think, and choose well, as the 4th graders held up choice pictures. It was great to worship together and hear lots of good examples of the Fruit of the Spirit.
