Junior Bible Class Service Project:
Mrs. Roede and her 11th grade Bible class have been working hard on a very special service project this Christmas season! Mrs. Roede taught the kids how to crochet. They worked hard on this new skill to make hats to help keep people warm this winter. The students also designed special cards with personalized notes and a blessing for the recipients of these gifts. As they crocheted, they prayed over each hat. The hats will be donated to Lima's Samaritan House, as well as Crossroads Church of God for their upcoming Spread the Bread and Thread event. Thank you to Mrs. Roede for sharing your skill with our students, and thank you to our Juniors for providing a tangible blessing and sharing the love of Christ.
Service Project:
Josh Rone, Campus Pastor, organized card-making for the Chapel small groups. The middle school girls made cards for the elderly as well as military personnel.
Elementary Art Project:
Our 4th and 5th graders have been working on a special project entitled I AM. Students created a list of the many names of God, then created a sunburst using watercolors incorporating the names of God that meant the most to them personally. We really enjoyed learning about all the things that our God is for us.
8th Grade History Activity:
The 8th grade history class has started learning about the U.S. Constitution. In preparation for reading the Constitution, students memorized the Preamble in the form of a rap! The class enjoyed rapping while using the various hats from the classroom collection. If you see an eighth grader, ask him/her to share the rap version of the Preamble with you!
