What does it mean to “Be Transformed”? Students began exploring the answer to that question during the first Friday chapels of the school year on September 6. Elementary Principal Gail Alford and Upper School Principal Meg McHale spoke during the elementary and middle school/high school chapels about the meaning of our 2019-2020 Spiritual Development Theme drawn from Romans 12:2.
Alford and McHale shared that by digging deep into the truth in God’s Word every student will be changed or transformed in the way they think, act, talk, and treat each other. When we are thinking Biblically, we will act differently. “We live in the world, but when you are following Christ you’re not of the world and you don’t belong to the world,” McHale said. “By learning the truth in God’s Word you will know what is right and good in the eyes of God and will be free from the lies that the world is telling you.”
The Spiritual Development Theme and verse are being prominently displayed on posters and on bulletin boards throughout the school building. Faculty and staff wore T-shirts promoting the theme on the first day of school and students and families will be able to obtain T-shirts with the theme.
Please pray with us that our students will grow closer in their relationship with God throughout this year as they encounter lessons and activities focused on being transformed by the power of God and His Word.
