Warrior News

Dear Warrior Nation,
As the school year ends, it is a great time to reflect on the past 10 months and think about all the great things God has done.  While you may have an extensive list for your personal family, I can think of a number of blessings we have experienced here at school.  Things like:

• New gym floor, bleachers
• New roof on elementary & high school buildings
• Awarding of the FEMA grant for upgrading campus security for nearly $150,000
• Numerous student salvations and baptisms
• Protection for another year of safety on campus
• Amazing teachers and staff, along with awesome families in partnership
• The addition of numerous new families to Warrior Nation, with the anticipation of many more to come

While not everything has been a blessing initially, we can take joy in seeing God move in both the good and the difficult situations – He never fails!!  So, to finish out the year, I would like to share a number of verses that speak to thankfulness and gratitude for you to read and reflect on over the next two months.  I would also ask you to lift these staff needs as well as we seek the Lord to fill these vacancies for the fall: High school Spanish, PE, elementary Music/Art, and 2nd Grade.

• Psalm 106:1: “Praise the Lord.  Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”
• Hebrews 12:28-29: “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our 'God is a consuming fire.'”
• Psalm 69:30: “I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.”
• Colossians 3:16: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
• Psalm 86:2: “I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.”
• Psalm 28:7: “The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.”
• Psalm 95:2: “Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!”

As we begin our summer break, I leave you with this prayer of blessing from Numbers 6:24-26: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”  See you all at the Warrior Welcome on Friday, 16 August, at 5:00 pm!!

All 4 Him!
