A Thanksgiving Message from Chief School Administrator Karen Oblen

Dear ACS Family,

As we gather together at Thanksgiving, with so many blessings and opportunities surrounding us, we can sometimes forget that all of these extraordinary blessings come from our great God. Today, I was reminded of this in Colossians 3:15-17, which says, “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Our God, the one from whom all blessings flow, lavishes us with these gifts freely and generously. What else can I be but overwhelmed with gratitude for all that He has done! So today, I am especially thankful for His love and grace. I am blessed beyond measure to serve in a school where God is glorified. I thank God for my ACS family! I pray each of you has a wonderfully blessed and joy-filled Thanksgiving!

A Thanksgiving Message from Chief School Administrator Karen Oblen

Dear ACS Family,

This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for all of God’s extraordinary blessings in my life. With gratitude to our great God, I realize that everything I have that is good — and everything that I am — is a gift from God. God, the one from whom all blessings flow, lavishes on each of us His gifts freely and generously.

This past weekend, my heart was bursting with pride as I watched our students perform in our school production of “Elft the Musical, Jr.” I was filled with gratitude that this production gave so many students the opportunity to discover and develop their God-given gifts and talents.

This Thanksgiving, I am especially grateful to serve in a school where God is glorified in all that we do and where the name of Jesus Christ can be freely proclaimed. I thank God for each and every one of you. I pray you each have a blessed and joyful Thanksgiving!
