Noah M., Rachel R., Small Groups

HIGH SCHOOL CHAPELS

Tuesday: Rachel R. spoke about a cross country trip she took this summer. Besides the adventure and stunning scenery, she learned about loving and respecting people. Noah M. spoke about how God used Rahab. She was an unlikely person to do God's work and yet God still worked through her. We should not live with labels. We easily label other people and even ourselves. These labels can hold us back. God calls us all to step out in faith and serve him!

Thursday: Our first small group chapel of the year. After introductory questions, students looked at Hebrews 12:1-2 and discussed goals for the school year.

MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL

Thursday: Noah M. blessed the middle school with the message he shared in the high school chapel on Tuesday. Enjoy the video of our singing!

Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Lindloff & TCMS 1st Chapel

HIGH SCHOOL CHAPELS

Tuesday: Mr. Mitchell spoke about the theme verse of the year: Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." After an engaging opening (complete with Portillo's chocolate cake), he answered a variety of questions: What are treasures? How do we know have right treasure? How do you make sure your treasure is in heaven? To watch the chapel, CLICK HERE

Thursday: Mr. Lindloff spoke about "So much of our present labor depends on our vision of the future glory." He corrected misunderstandings about what eternal life is like. He presented a Biblical vision of eternity that emphasized God's presence that is both personal and communal. This vision should shape how we live today. Mr. Pelt led us with the song,  Cornerstone. Then students prayed for the school year. To watch the chapel, CLICK HERE
