Warrior News

Dear Parents and Families of RCS,

Proverbs 31:26 says, “She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.”  I am grateful to God to have a wife that this verse so aptly describes.  During our recent prayer time, Lynette felt the Lord impress on her heart that we, as a school family, needed to take time for corporate prayer.  With the many challenges that Christian Schools face, she felt the need for deliberate time to lift the school, community, and our needs together before the Lord.  So, from that prayer, we are making plans to provide that chance to parents and teachers starting next week.  I would humbly ask for you, if available, to join us on campus next Wednesday and Friday, 29 and 31 March, between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. as we open the Chapel for a time of individual and corporate prayer.  We will have a list of prayer points available as a starting point.  But feel free to pray alone or in groups for whatever God puts on your heart for Warrior Nation.  The Bible is filled with verses that speak of the power of prayer and the assurance God gives us by being obedient to His commands.  As we read in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”  We look forward to partnering with you during this important time!

With only one week remaining before Easter Break, I want to encourage you to continue to impress upon your students the need to finish strong.  Only six weeks remain after the break and before exams, and the time will vanish quickly.  Before we know it, graduation day will be upon us (sorry senior parents, for the anxiety I might have just caused you).

As a follow-up to the prospective families attending Open House, I sent a list of “15 More Reasons to Love RCS.”  Here are the first 5 as reminders that you can share with friends and families who are looking for a safe, God-centered family to teach and love their kids:

• 71 years of experience in Educating Hearts and Minds for Christ
• Regular Discipleship group student meetings to discuss student matters and make connections with staff members
• Spiritual Emphasis Weeks each semester, which give students a chance to draw closer to God
• Weekly Chapel services in elementary and secondary divisions (6-12th grades led by student praise band)
• ALL Staff members have a personal salvation testimony with Christ

More to come in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!  Praying grace and peace for you and your family this weekend.  We are honored to partner with you in Educating Heart and Minds for Christ!

Blessings,

Bill Sharp, M.Ed.
