             PRAYER CORNER

**Year’s Theme: “Signs of Faith” “Be joyful always: pray continually: give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

**August and September’s sign- Construction Zone

August and September’s faith lesson- Our foundation is Jesus

Memory verse: I Cor. 3:10b-11 “But each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.”

Prayers of praise:  Lets just lift our hearts to heaven and praise the Lord

Praising Him for a beautiful morning

Praising Him for the freedoms we have in America, one being the freedom to have a Christian School

Praising Him for a new school year, all of our students, families, teachers, and staff

Praising Him for Quinton Dorhout’s continuing recovery from hip surgery

Praising Him for little Gerrit John, Dave and Margret’s baby boy born in July.

Prayers of petition: Jesus said “keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking.” Luke 11:9

We ask that the promises of the future (..and God himself will be with them as their God.” Rev21:3) give each student, parent, teacher and staff the motivation as we seek to build community by helping individuals succeed

Bless and provide opportunities to instill foundational values that are Your’s

We ask for healing for Leah Schoonhoven’s mother and wisdom for the doctors and the family

ICS “SIGNS OF FAITH T-SHIRT

Order forms for our “Signs of Faith” t-shirts were sent home today with each student. Please fill out and return by Friday, Aug. 27, that is this coming Friday. This is VERY IMPORTANT that you have them returned by this Friday! There is no cost involved. The t-shirts are the Gilden brand and they tend to run big. They are the same brand as the t-shirts the students had for the musical last fall so keep this in mind when choosing the size. EACH STUDENT NEEDS A SEPARATE ORDER, because we are going with different colors for each Living Family. We will wear them for chapel every second Friday of the month.

 

THANK-YOU –  to the mothers who signed up to be a room mother. Every class is filled.

Dear 3rd and 4th grade parents

Once again for the Rally Day Sale the classes are doing theme baskets. This year the 3rd and 4th grade theme is Christmas. Ideas for the basket are Christmas CD’s, cards, wrapping paper, stocking stuffers such as cards, decorations for inside or outside the house, ornaments, any empty candy tray with a certificate to fill the tray at Christmas time, or any thing else you can think of relating to Christmas. Please have your items to school by Sept. 9 so we can have time to organize the basket before the auction on Sept. 11. It would be great if we needed to split the basket into 2 baskets! If you have any questions please call one of us. Thanks, Cheryl Van Wyk 567-4468  Jill Schouten 278-5437
