High School Chapels—Spiritual Emphasis Week

• THEME OF THE WEEK: BRIDGE BUILDING. HOW DO WE RESOND AS CHRISTIAN DISCIPLES TO THE RACIAL TENSIONS IN THE U.S.? HOW CAN WE BUILD BETTER TC COMMUNITY?
• Special Note: the chapel usually starts 2-4 minutes from when the live-stream begins

Sept. 28: Teacher Panel

Eight teachers shared how they have been challenged to better honor God and love people in light of current race issues. Their personal challenge led to heart-felt challenges to the student body. Thanks to Mrs. Piersma, Mr. Huizinga, Mrs. Fox, Mr. Whartnaby, Mr. Snoeyink, Mr. Barker, Mrs. Garcia, Mr. Lindloff.

Sept. 24–Moms Panel

The moms had a honest discussion that dealt with issues such as unconscious racial bias, worry about my kids safety, and overt racism. Thanks to Mrs. Dorsey (who organized & moderated the panel), Mrs. Vea, Mrs. Cruz, Mrs. Champagne and Mrs. Cummings.

​

Sept. 30–Reggie Champagne (both middle school & high school chapel)

Reggie Champagne—TC dad, corporate lawyer, speaker—blessed us with a message centered on Matthew 22:15-22, along with other teachings of Jesus. After highlighting Biblical principles, he shared practical ways to love God, love people, pursue justice and even engage in the political process as Christians.

Oct. 1–Small Groups

This was the most serious small group time of the year. Students were challenged to share openly, honestly and with Christian love. They discussed the past three chapels and racial discrimination in general.

Oct. 2–Student Panel

We closed our week with 10 students on a panel, moderated by Mrs. Garcia. These students took the risk to share in front of their peers. They shared stories and gave us a window into their hearts. The TC community is a special place, but there is still work to be done. We must still deal with uncomfortable issues while we thank God for our togetherness in Jesus.
