"Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul" (Psalm 66:16 ESV).
This past week, our school was blessed to celebrate Christian Education Week. We are so blessed to have our children attend such amazing, God centered schools. Christian education has always been dear to my heart, as my father dedicated half of his life to raising funds for Christian curriculum. I still remember Christian Education week when I was in elementary school! Bake sales, jelly bean guess, and the high light: grandparents day! It's because of our grandparents and their dedication to Christian education that we are able, through our schools, to tell the story -the story of God's love and His amazing grace!
"Living in the Kingdom enables us to grow in faith. Day to day experiences that affect our lives give us the opportunity to nurture faith. Children’s experiences, their joys and sorrows, mould their lives. Christian schools take these experiences and fit them into God’s story." (taken from our school's website www.providencecs.ca)
