Singing, Skating, and Giving at our Christian School

A unique weeks starts this morning as we return for the final days of 2017 at LCES. Here are some highlights:

Wednesday “Worship Christ, the Newborn King.” All students from JK-8 will lead us in word and song to celebrate Jesus’s birth. Join us at Royalview and bring a friend, neighbor, or potential future family.

Friday “Christmas Carol Chapel” True North Records artist and LCES parent, Jeremy Zeyl, will start the day leading us in a joyous morning of words and song. You won’t want to miss this unique morning of a community singing together and hearing the Christmas story.

Friday afternoon Skating – To end the week and year on a community note, we will continue the tradition of skating at Argyle arena just around the corner from the school. Grades 4-8 will start skating at 1:30pm and JK-3 will begin at 1:50pm. Students to and from by bus.

A note regarding Wednesday evening:

At the LCES Board table this fall we have seen tremendous evidence that the Lord has richly provided for our school. It has come in the form of answers to difficult situations, people with passion and care for the mission of our school, and financial resources to keep our organization viable. God is very good! The gap of last year’s projected shortfall was answered by measures that had us end on the level. We have continued to joyful receive Bright Future’s gifts this fall and watch our debt shrink, our bursary capacity grow, and are excited about investing in our facility and learning tools. These are all gift from above for which we gave all praise and thanks to God.

At the Board table we have prayed for the Christian school our children are supporting with their student service project, a place I have written about twice this fall. LaGosette Christian School has nearly twice as many students as our school but operates with an annual budget that is around 10% of ours. Wonderful things are happening there as the school aims to be a faithful presence to children and families eager for hope and love. As chance to be a blessing as we have been richly blessed, there will be an opportunity for us as a community to join alongside our students to support LaGosette Christian School. At the Christmas concert there will be a free will offering received at the door on your way out. If you would like a tax receipt, you can give directly to the school through their website.

May the hope of Advent, the joy of Christ, and the promise of God’s love be with you and yours as you travel, worship, and celebrate during the break.
