Senior Chapel, Middle School Transitions, Orchestra

HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
Tuesday: We had an orchestra assembly instead of chapel. A special thank you to Ms. Salvatori for the many years she led the orchestra with beautiful music. Enjoy the video.

Thursday: Today was our yearly tradition: Senior Chapel. After Melanie Z. played a piano prelude, His Eye is on the Sparrow, all seniors sat down in front on the stage. We watched the "Senior Movie" made by Cassidy B. Our closing prayer involved the teachers forming a circle around the seniors. Mr. Boven, Mrs. David and Mr. Hartgerink prayed for the seniors. What a wonderful time of Christian community and blessings on the Class of 2015!

MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL
Wednesday: We welcomed the 6th graders to our chapel! Ms. Strauss led the chapel on a very appropriate theme for this time of year: transitions. She, along with Mrs. Dyke and Mr. Peterson, shared part of their journey, and how we need to trust in God through great changes in life.

Thursday: Our last small group chapel of the year. For fun, groups were challenged to come up with a unique pose or video of their group. We read from Philippians 3:7-10. Some questions asked: "What is a spiritual goal you have for this summer?" and "What is a prayer request you have for this summer?". Next week there will be a video of the small groups!

MIDDLE SCHOOL
Wednesday: Mr. VanderBill and his homeroom led us. The chapel was a great challenge to stay connected with Jesus this summer. Mr. VanderBill showed and shared what he needs to bring with him on a summer backpacking trip. Just like preparing to go on trips, we need to prepare ourselves spiritually in order to live for Jesus. Numerous students shared how God is challenging them to be more committed to Jesus (really good testimonies from 7th graders!).

NEXT WEEK
HIGH SCHOOL: Tuesday–Orchestra Assembly; Thursday–Senior Chapel (senior slideshow)
MIDDLE SCHOOL Wednesday–Ms. Strauss homeroom (6th graders joining us)

Amy Liss & Faith CRC Worship Band

TC CHAPELS
HIGH SCHOOL Tuesday: Amy Liss, a young woman with cerebral palsy, spoke. She is confined to a wheelchair and yet does not let her physical limitations define her. Her talk was touching and meaningful and sprinkled with humor. Her faith in God, desire for serving others and "attitude of gratitude" made an impact on all of us. Currently, she is the relationship coordinator for the Villa Park Easter Seals office, serves in a local elementary school and has numerous public speaking opportunities.
