GCS Christmas 2021 Newsletter

“THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING ; GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS . " LAMENTATIONS 3 : 23

FROM THE DESK OF MRS. MORRISON

Director of Advancement and Outreach

Christmas greetings to all of our friends and families of Grace Christian School! On behalf of everyone at Grace Christian School, I’d like to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a blessed holiday season! We’re so thankful for the opportunity to pour God’s Word into our students daily. We pray you have had a healthy and happy year and hope you find yourself thankful for all God has shared with you. What a beautiful autumn we’ve had with the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets that we are so blessed to experience here in Illinois. In Lamentations 3:23 we’re reminded that His mercies are new every morning. We have experienced God’s mercies over these last 20 months. We have remotely learned and in-person learned and have gone with the flow in both scenarios. Much like one cannot predict the weather, we’ve not been able to predict the recommendations of our government. But, we have done our best to encourage our students in all areas. Here at GCS, we have been caring for the spiritual and academic growth of our students. We are hopeful that our students will take their faith far beyond the walls of Grace Christian School. We have been able to see our GCS graduates accomplish great achievements and are so proud of the lives they’re living. Most recently, 4 of our graduates were inducted into the National Honor Society at Pontiac Township High School. As our students continue to flourish, we can’t give enough praise to God for giving us the opportunity to encourage them and the children currently enrolled at GCS. Many of our accomplishments are a reflection of your generosity and partnering with us so that we can give extra for our students. All throughout this newsletter you will see the many extra opportunities that students at GCS are given on a daily basis and we use those opportunities to serve others. We are a growing community but still small enough that your partnership is vital and so appreciated. We have grown from 18 students to 43 students in the last 5 years…… Praise the Lord! We’ve been blessed with a staff that is flexible and excited to grow. Our goal at Grace Christian School is to educate our young people to lead lives that positively impact themselves, their families, and their communities. Please take a moment to reflect on the blessings that God has given you and then consider sharing a part of that with us here at GCS. We pray that you have a Blessed Christmas and that you remember the reason for the season! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas!
