March 30 Note

• March 30th Note
  Thank you to the parents who helped make the CLHS trip a success. From the sounds of it, the students had a good time. I hope that the adults that went were able to get some rest yesterday and maybe recover a bit.

• The following is an encouragement that specifically addresses staying for worship when the children sing in that service.
• Worship services are an important part of our school’s educational program, as was explained prior to enrollment. Worshipping is an outflow or response of faith, which we are nurturing through the school, therefore we strongly urge families to attend worship and stay for the whole service when the children come to sing. An additional problem occurs when people leave during the service as it is disruptive to worshippers and can also give the impression that worship is not important; we don’t want that message to be given to the children or other worshippers. Therefore, we ask that families take to heart the encouragement to stay for all of the worship service.
  
  
  God’s blessings on your week,
  Mr. Fillner
