2005-2006 Program
This year's chapel program is called "The Amazing Race: Hebrews 12." We are
commemorating New Testament characters in light of three principles, in the
life story of people like Peter, Mary, Phillip, Barnabas, Timothy, Aquila &
Priscilla, Zacchaeus, Silas, John, Paul, etc.
The teaching principles for the upper elementary students are:
-
Develop the disciplines, because discipline leads to freedom.
-
Pursue the path, because God's path leads to peace.
-
Focus to the finish, because focus leads to satisfaction.
For the lower elementary, the teaching principles are:
-
"Keep on doing the right thing, even when it is hard."
-
"God has a plan for you."
-
"You can trust Jesus all the time."
The Amazing Race is carried out weekly as an actual race by two-person teams
representing the 4-7 grades. The scavenger hunt is based on the life events of
the Bible character central to our chapel each week (as in the Hebrews 11 ‘hall
of faith’). The competition is video recorded and edited for weekly
presentation in chapel, and the winning grade receives a grand prize at the end
of the semester. The sixth graders won the fall semester, and were treated to
an off-campus lunch in January at the Varsity, Jr. Service
Projects
It is a privilege for Providence Christian Academy to come alongside our
parents and their children in order to help them “impact the world in which
they live.” Through God, the school is able to exercise this school vision
statement in several tangible ways each year.
Our young students are developing eyes that see a hurting world, and they
understand that even as elementary students they are equipped to meet the needs
of others. The tender hearts and the passion that we have seen as students have
engaged in “projects of the heart” is evident in both their desire to serve,
and their willingness to become “the hands and feet of Christ,” without need
for recognition.
Life lessons of service are alive in the Elementary School through our annual
“Stack it For Jesus” food drive benefiting the Lilburn Cooperative Ministry,
on-going grade-level service projects, and additional school-wide and
individual efforts that arise, as needs come to our attention.
To God be the glory for all He is doing in the lives of our students, and those
to whom we minister!
