I picked up a take-out pizza once while
wearing my jacket with the LCES name and logo on prominent display. A
disappointed and hungry customer in front of me heard that his pizza would be
four more minutes, after which he immediately swung his attention to me and
said “I have four minutes, tell me about that school” One never knows when
these opportunities will be presented.
I attended a workshop last week that was
entitled “Moving From Noticed To Known.” The presenter shared a journey of
growing and maintaining a public presence in one’s internal and external
communities – those who know some of your story, and those who are brand new to
it.
We have an exciting story to tell here at
LCES, one with deep roots and strong convictions, but also with new evidence of
God’s continued blessing and provision. We hope you enjoy hearing the good
things happening here every day in the stories, pictures, and postings that we
share by various methods. I encourage you to share them often - in print, electronically, or better yet through conversations.
I encourage you to reflect on LCES and
consider how you might partner with us to spread the news about our school.
Parents who share their thoughts joyfully about what they have experienced at
our school are a huge asset to our future. A great resource to use to prepare
you for conversations with potential families is our school’s website and
facebook page. Another source to guide consideration of Christian education can
be found at www.whychristianschools.ca. It’s a tool not connected to one specific school,
but rather frames the blessing and investment that Christian schooling entails.
I also invite you to pray for the Lord’s leading
as we look to represent ourselves faithfully. Consider what your part might be in passing the message along. What’s the story you can share?
