harvestparty-081

For this year’s Harvest Party our theme was fairytales. Everyone’s costumes were creatively made with this theme in mind. There were a few dwarves, a number of gingerbread men and babies, Captain Hook and even Goldilocks and the Three Bears!

History Night 2009

historynight-076Anticipation builds each year as October approaches because our community gathers for our annual History Night.  With a special meal, stories, pictures and sharing we remember God’s faithfulness through the years.

This year we explored our how our mission as a community has developed. Community is not simply a novel calling, but a fulfillment of the Kingdom Vision.  Our mission is to “live together in such a way as to experience and express the Kingdom of God”.  It was exciting to see how we implemented seeing our lives together as the mission of God. It was an inspiring time and left us excited about the journey we are on together.

Academy Night 2009

Our 2008-2009 school year ended with an awards night. The teachers strive to give out creative awards as they want to capture the highlights of each student. Often these awards get a chuckle from the audience. For example, one award is the “Fainting Teacher” award for the student who suddenly shows unexpected performance. Others were the “Insatiable Curiosity” for the student who is always asking questions and a “Creative Cookie” award. In between the award presentations we were treated to funny health class skits about safety, a violin and cello performance and reading from the kindergarten class. The evening was a nice way to wrap up the school year.
