And you shall be my witnesses...
What does Christ's command to his disciples
mean to a sixth grader? (Mt. 28:19-20, Acts 1:8) This is the topic we
explored in our religion classes as we have looked at
the gift of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost and Paul's missionary journeys. As the disciples were instructed to
witness in first Jerusalem, then to the neighboring countryside, then to
the ends of the earth, we Christians are encouraged to be witnesses
where we are at: in our school, workplaces, and families then reach out,
even to the ends of the earth. Where do we get equipped for such a
task? In Word and Sacrament - with the fellowship of believers. I
encourage you to be involved in summer worship both at home and in your
travels. Invite a friend or neighbor to our Vacation
Bible School the week of June 10. We, too, have the power of the Holy
Spirit and can look for those opportunities for God to use us to spread his word!

In our final Religion class we
learned a modern day parable and practiced telling it. Remember to “Always be prepared to give
an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that
you have.” from I Peter 3:15. To
be equipped for the task, students have been challenged to get INTO THE
WORD: to add a regular devotion time to their routine this summer and
hold partners accountable through email, texts, and phone calls. Please
pray for the continued spiritual growth of our class beyond these
walls!
Dear families:
Thank you for all of your support this year. I have appreciated your
prayers, your notes of encouragement, your time working with your child
on projects, and your child. It has been a pleasure being a part of
your lives this year. May God bless your family this summer!
