On the weekend we had an opportunity to Share the Story. We held a Spring Gala at the school and it was truly an amazing evening. It was a breath taking setting to share the story of our school and see how it is connected to so many different stories, and, ultimately how it is connected to God’s story. We had a delightful and delicious meal as we enjoyed some melodic morsels playing gently in the background. During the event we were captivated again by what the Lord is doing at Providence Christian School. We explored together the wonderful truth that the Lord is Lord of all things and that he does not change like shifting shadows. We tried to relate that to the context in which we live knowing the world we live in is constantly and sometimes rapidly changing. As we live in this story together there is a reciprocal rootedness that we experience. We are rooted in our faith but also in community. We draw life and nourishment from each other through the grace of God. Community is a vital connectedness that roots us in wisdom and provides the right context for the decisions we make moving into the future. As we look forward to our next steps we do so with discernment, with a passion for partnering in God’s kingdom work, and a desire to develop the gifts that God has placed in His children. This is our community; we have that opportunity for connectedness and for living in the story together. Thank you for partnering with us in Christian education.
I would like to thank all the families for making the Spring Gala a success. I am so very thankful for such an amazing and dedicated community. I would also like to thank the Gala Planning committee, the Fundraising committee, and Providence Catering, in a word; WOW. I would like to personally thank Scott and Liz Heidbuurt for being the emcees and a big thank you to all who attended the event as well.
