Week of February 27

It is good to welcome in a new week!  This is an open house day at DCS-may we be a blessing to our community!  We have opportunities to serve and welcome others in love.  What a joy to meet others who love the LORD and want to share HIS love with children.  What a Michigan winter...from extremes...prepare for tomorrow and thank God for each new day and the ways that we can live for HIM.  Have a great week all!

Week of February 13

The time spent in chapel enables students to connect with each other and to our God. The challenge word of the day was tangible.  Today we were encouraged to seek a tangible way to connect with our God and others.  We were to pick an item or an object that when observed and noticed we should then spend time in prayer to God for others.  A clasp on a necklace when in contact with  an object hanging on the chain reminds the girls to pray for others.  A chime or a grandfather clock or a specific time on a clock  reminds the hearer/observer to pray on behalf of others.  May we be real and in tangible ways remember to pray for others and look to be a blessing to others because Jesus first loved us! 

Valentine's Day cards and celebration sharing will be on Tuesday, February 14.
