Jr. Cougar Chronicles : September JOY!

"Come Follow Me"

Last Wednesday, with the help of our elementary music teacher, Mrs.Draper, we launched our first elementary chapel of the new school year! Whoop! Whoop! And the Holy Spirit was definitely in the house and on the move! From the start of the first worship song with the sweet voices of the Jr. Cougars singing His praises behind me as I ran the lyric slides, I knew God had something special planned for chapel that morning and the whole year too. So much JOY as we explained our theme for the year and our plan for faculty and staff to share their testimonies throughout the year.

From there we focused on Mark 10:13-16 about Jesus wanting the children to come to Him, the importance of child-like faith, and Mrs. Draper shared her salvation experience when she was just four years old. At the end of the chapel, we invited students to pray the salvation prayer and there were eager hearts and voices throughout the gym that we get the gift and blessing of walking with and encouraging them in their own Jesus journeys all year!

Why am I sharing all this with you now? Well, that's easy! I am sharing this with you because it brings my heart overflowing JOY and because I/we would love to invite you to be a unique part of this special and intentional worship experience in the lives of our precious Jr. Cougars by joining us. Chapel dates, are all on Wednesdays this year.

9/27, 10/4, 10/18, 11/15, 11/29, 12/13,

1/3, 1/17, 1/31, 2/14, 2/28, 3/13, 4/3, 5/1, 5/29

Chapels are from about 8:15 -9:00 am in the gym. We usually open with prayer and sing praises to the Lord. After that, throughout this year, one of our faculty/staff will share about the time in their life they gave Jesus their heart. Then we have a 10-15 minute lesson. If your schedule does not afford you the opportunity to be present with us, we would be blessed and grateful for your prayers for our Jr. Cougars and all the Lord is going to do this year in our elementary chapels!

"And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them." Mark 10:13-16
