It’s Out of Control
The second major hurricane to wreak
havoc on the shores of these United States in a span of a couple of weeks took
up the majority of the news reports over the weekend. With the threat of at least two others
following behind, a person might well think that things have gone haywire in
our weather patterns. Other places are
experiencing unusually high temperatures and lack of rain which brings the
threat of wildfires. We could add to these
the constant reminders being put out by scientists about global warming and the
looming disasters they say will be caused by it, how could one not think that
things are out of control?
One could also look at the major
earthquakes that shook much of southern Mexico causing widespread destruction
and injuries and wonder what is going on?
Should we really be puzzled by these events,
or worried by them? All of these things
have been foretold, these things will happen before the end of the world. They
are just a reminder to all that this world and our lives on this earth will not
last forever.
If
these events worry you, read Psalm 46. In this Psalm, we are told that God is
our “Fortress and refuge and strength”. We are reminded that God is our “ever-present
help in trouble”. We are also told to
“Be still, and know that I am God.” Things
are never out of His control. All things
that happen are under His control so we never have to be worried about
anything, He is always by our side.
Half Day
School will dismiss at
noon this Friday, September 15.
Bible Information Class
A child’s Christian education is only
as good as the cooperation between parents and teachers. To this end, we feel strongly that all
parents need to hear our fundamental beliefs and understand the basic doctrines
that all of our school children are taught.
Therefore, we invite parents of school children to attend Pastor Ewings’
“Making Life Better Class” beginning tonight, September 11th. This 15-week class
is an extensive review of the basic doctrines taught in the Bible and,
therefore, in this school. Parents who complete the class will receive a $500
discount on their child’s tuition for each of three years after completing the
class.
Healthy Sleep
Habits
Teachers have been noticing that their students are
coming to school overly tired. It is
important that your student gets enough sleep so that they can participate fully
in class. We need your help to enforce a
proper “bedtime” in order for your student to get sufficient hours of rest and
sleep. Primary school age children NEED 9 to 11 hours of sleep nightly in order
to function properly. Growing teenagers function best with 8 to 10 hours of
sleep.
Cross Country
Cross Country practice continues this
week on Tuesday and Thursday. Athletes can be picked up at Waldron Park at 5:15
pm or the school at 5:30 pm.

School Sweatshirts
If
you are interested in school sweatshirts, we’ll be placing an order at the end
