A torrent of talents

“No one can do everything; everyone has a talent to contribute.”

The above words of wisdom came from the student chapel grade four led this morning. It led me to think about several things going on in the life of students and in the life of our organization in the next number of months. Here they are:

“Caribbean Breeze” Spring Auction: Last Saturday’s event was very clearly the sum result of many people with organizational, relational, financial, and especially creative talents. None of those talents on their own would have made the night what it was and we are so grateful for their contribution. (See details later in this newsletter).

Spring Membership Meeting: Just like students are talented in different ways, we have parents
contributing with their talents across the organization. Our school would not be able to do what it
does without them and we give them our sincere thanks. Come out and hear all about what these
talented volunteers have been doing tomorrow at 7:30pm.

LC’s Got Talent: Believing that all students are diversely and uniquely equipped by the Lord, we
want to take opportunity to showcase, celebrate, and enjoy those talents as a group. I can hardly
wait to see music, drama, and the spoken word on display this Friday. Come join us at 1:30pm!

May Soirée: Part of playing in a musical group, be it a group of two or twenty, is the ability to
organize differently talented people to work together to produce something of excellence and
beauty as a response to God. Musical talent will be on full display May 13.

LCES Field Day: I’m excited to hear our students practicing to give their personal best and top
their previous year’s achievement against our standards based field day as they showcase their
talents. We pray for great weather on May 15!

Shakespeare Play: You will be amazed at the talent of our students (and their teacher!) to make
“Romeo and Juliet” come alive on May 29. It is not something you want to miss.

Graduation: Work begins at this time of year to design an experience for our community to
celebrate the gifts and talents of our graduates who have reached a milestone in their educational
journey. I encourage you to come June 24 to gain a wide perspective on the journey from JK (or
SK) to grade eight!

God’s gift of talents to our community is a rich blessing to us and I’m thankful for places those
talents can be identified, used, and oriented back to God in faithful service. SJ
