thinking ahead

August 14th, 2016

With the first week of classes behind us, we are getting ready for a four day school week with our visiting Missions Team from Calvary Bible Church of Hanover PA.  Keep up with their team blog to see what their team members think of their time here.  P1220052

The four day week was planned by our principal – the school staff can use a break; the three dorm students can use the long weekend to be at home a little longer; and the work team needs some time to debrief, pray, think and then clean the dorms and gather their belongings into suitcases for their trip home on Saturday.

Two of the residential students have already expressed their opinion that they should stay to hang out with the team on Friday. Yea.  Relationships are growing and good-byes are so hard. So this week as you are praying,

  • pray for those relationships between team members and staff members,
  • between team members and students, and
  • between all of the humans interfacing at CSCD.

As far as we KNOW there are no issues, but prayer helps to prevent potential issues 🙂 you know what I mean.

The SUBMERGED theme of the week is beautiful!  The students enjoyed the introduction to the Bible school program on Friday.    Our principal particularly liked the way God led us to a fun Wednesday afternoon of pier jumping in which we were physically SUBMERGED in the ocean as many overcame fears so that on Friday we could discuss what it means to be SUBMERGED in God’s will  and word.Read Betsy’s Blog to stay up to date with her musings too.
