On Ash Wednesday, after chapel, we talked about the importance of Lent and Ash Wednesday. We talked about the sacrificial gift of Christ dying on the cross. His mission was to come to earth, teach us how to be a kingdom builder, and take the final punishment for us. He bore the weight of our sin. He did that for us! Because of His GREAT love, we have forgiveness. WOW. What an amazing gift! The students listened to the song "Forgiven" by David Crowder and spent time with God. The students were encouraged to write to God, journal, illustrate a picture, record their thoughts of what forgiveness is and looks like. I had tears in my eyes as I walked around and looked at their "moments with God". They all took those pages home. Take a peek. May you be reminded of the gift of forgiveness and the mission Christ accomplished on earth!
VERMICOMPOSTING - You may have heard about our class economics project this year - we are doing vermicomposting with worms. So we have a giant tote filled with coco coir and 1000 worms that we are feeding and caring for in hopes that they will produce some highly valuable worm castings that we can sell as fertilizer this spring along side of the high school's plant sale. We'll keep you posted as the project moves forward....
Optional Discipleship Practices At Home Activities During Lent - As we begin the journey to the cross through Lent, we want to walk with you and center ourselves around Christ; his death and resurrection. To do that together, on weekdays we will be posting on social media and the HC website, a short Bible passage and some conversation questions that revolve around Discipleship Practices (behaviors that are rooted in the Bible, Church History, and are used as our integration of faith in all that we do at HC). This is not a checklist, or to-do list, but simply a way we can partner together as we worship Christ in all things.
