Boven, HS Teacher Summer Photos, Stand Firm

HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL

Tuesday: Mr. Boven's yearly message is always thought-provoking and his unique style keeps attention. He simply explained what a Reformed Christian perspective on life is. After a brief shout-out to Reformed theology, he focused on what it means to be a steward. We should live our lives knowing that ultimately God gives us everything we have. We are God's; everything we have is God's. So how can we faithful honor God with the use of our time, talents and treasures?

Thursday: Ten teachers shared a photo from the summer. We guessed which teacher went with each photo. Then the teachers shared how they were encouraged spiritually this summer.

MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL

The 8th graders met with high school student mentors. The 7th graders wrote down prayer requests and in small groups reflected on how to "stand firm" in the faith. We ended chapel together by singing with Mrs. LeGrand. We sang "Ah, La, La, La", "Lord, I Lift Your Name on High" and "Blessed Be Your Name".
