Thank You June 18, 2012

I want to take the opportunity to thank the DCCS community for a fantastic first year. I have felt more than welcomed with kind words and acts of support for myself and my family as we have been transitioning to a new community.  You have been a source of great encouragement as we work and live in this community.  So thank you so much for a wonderful year.  I look forward to more years of serving God in this community.   It is great to take the time to look back over the year and plan the next steps for the year to come.   

I want to congratulate our graduates for their accomplishments.  We will celebrate with them tonight as we gather for graduation.  We send them off with the hope that their gifts have been developed so they are ready to learn more about God, His creation, and His created order in the years to come.  We celebrate the giver of the gifts whose grace and faithfulness we rely upon.  We not only rely upon it but we are also called to respond.  It is our prayer that the students will come to use these gifts for God’s glory and in His service, existing as Living Stones in His temple. 

Also, I want to ask for God’s richest blessings on all of our students for the summer months.  I pray that it is a wonderful time of rest and relaxation, character building, family bonding and exploration of God’s world.  Wherever you find yourself may you remember that God is good; all the time.  It brings us back to Psalm 100:5, our theme verse for the year “For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.”  May you experience His faithfulness through his goodness and His love this summer. 

Be well and thank you for an excellent year.
