VOLUME 3, ISSUE 18                                                              January 6, 2012

From Our Superintendent, Merida Brooks

In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; in the morning I

will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

Psalm 5:3

 

It is an incredible thing to even type 2012! Behold, we are in the "morning" of another year granted to us by Father God to grow in His grace, to walk in His ways and to invest in His purposes on the earth! At Westminster Christian Academy we rejoice in the opportunity to once again invest in the lives of this generation for another 365 days, of which five have already been spent!

 

Teach us to number our days, so that we may present

to You a heart of wisdom.

Psalm 90:12

 

O, Father, grant to us wisdom to walk in Your ways, to surrender to Your will, to be spent for Your purposes and to see every day from an eternal purpose.

 

This I recall to mind, therefore, I have hope.

The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,

For His compassions never fail. 

They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness.

Lam. 3:21-23

 

We rejoice in God's faithfulness to meet every challenge with His grace, every opportunity with His enabling power, every heart break with His comfort, every need with His provision, every doubt with His truth, every question with His understanding, and every relationship with His purposes. Oh, may we receive all that He will do within each of us in 2012 as we say, "not my will, but Your will be done!"

  

His!

Journey of Transition
January 29, 2012
Journey of Transition

Westminster is providing an incredible opportunity for our parent body, faculty and staff!  Bruce Johnson of JH Ranch in California is coming to us again this year!  Bruce shares profoundly simple lessons providing the under girding for the journey every parent must make with their children ~ the transition from the "care taking" during the birth to 5 years to the "consulting" of the post 19 years and all the transitions in between.   

Parents, part of the mission statement of WCA is "...to assist parents in educating their children..."   The cost for this opportunity has been partially underwritten by a generous donor, however, there will be a $15 per person charge to defray the remaining costs of bringing these practical strategies distilled with nuggets of biblical wisdom to you and your family.   This is such crucial information that means have been provided for our faculty and staff to attend in order for them to have a better understanding of the transitional stages of our students.

This is the final REQUIRED MEETING for all 2011-2012 new parents, seventh grade parents, and new employees!!

Click the link above for more information and/or to register today!  And don't forget to invite your friends and neighbors to this critical training event!
