In the last two posts, we prayed for DC's Spirit/Homecoming week and XC's Spiritual Emphasis Week. Both were a resounding success, much to His glory!!During our 50th anniversary year, we are being deliberate in reconnecting with our alumni, friends, and families who have supported us. DC alumni and family plus veteran faculty and staff were warmly welcomed back for several alumni-specific events Friday and Saturday. Relationships were renewed and strengthened, and we are already looking forward to next year! DC's first ever social dance was well-attended, and I have heard nothing but positive feedback from faculty and staff regarding the demeanor of our students and how they made sure everyone felt a part of the event.
A faculty member accidentally "stumbled upon" the end of spiritual emphasis week at XC. She entered a hallway, noticed that it was filled with middle schoolers, yet it was extremely quiet. (Middle school students and "quiet" don't normally go together.) Then it hit her: they were praying at lockers of fellow students. She was taken with how serious and respectful they were as they prayed and wrote notes of encouragement under prayer requests that were taped to the locker fronts. No one said a word but were silent in their petitions as they moved from locker to locker. Then she entered the high school building and found the same sight there. It was extremely touching. She said, "This is what it is all about!"
Praise God!!!!

Your words were found, and I ate them,
and your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
for I am called by your name,
