Growing Minds and Sharing Love

Our class storyline is “growing minds” and “sharing love” as we seek to glorify God together as a class family. Two December memories come to mind that show these two ideas in action! We loved the conversation we had with students right before Christmas about becoming “idolatry discerners.” We discussed how good things can become an idol if we give them first place in our hearts and seek our happiness outside of the Lord. This can happen often at Christmas time with presents, celebrations, and lots of fun. It was beautiful to hear kids reflect on enjoying good gifts from God without fixating on them as their source of joy. Read some of our class reflections below. We are so proud of how their Christian minds are developing to be thoughtful about what brings God glory. We also saw your students share the love of Jesus with our Grandfriends at Pine Haven, singing Christmas carols the week before break. We see God’s hand in your children and are thankful to be back learning with them again in 2025!
