This week we had our first chapel.. in my opinion it was awesome! We got to really spend time in worship and a group of students made a commitment to take hold of their thoughts in order to reap an action. That action can lead to a habit and a good habit leads to good character, and ultimately if you sow a righteous character you reap the destiny God has planned for you.
Although you may not realize it this commitment is going to be tough to up hold. Controlling your thoughts is one of the most difficult things because it is private and easy to hide from people, but you can not hide them from God. Because this is so difficult we have to keep each other accountable. When you choose an accountability partner choose someone that knows you in every aspect of life. Choose someone that will tell you the things that are hard to accept but beneficial to your spiritual walk.
If you are looking for a place where you can find some spiritual guidance or an accountability partner remember that Doc is meeting with students on Mondays for fasting and prayer. He is also holding FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) meetings on Fridays. Both are held in the computer lab.
Coming up in a few weeks will be the underclassmen election for those who have a desire to join the SLC. Please begin praying about what branch of the SLC you would like to serve on. More info will be annouced soon!
This blog is more than just a way of communicating information to you guys. We would love for you feedback!
Thanks!

Update!
Hey guys! So I think the first day of school went great! I hope you all had fun.
One thing that I would like everyone to be aware of is the Bible studies that will begin on September 15th. There are sign up sheets in the hallway. The Bible studies will be held at school from 6pm-8pm. The girls study will be reading Every Young Woman's Battle and the boys will be reading Every Young Man's Battle. Please sign up if you plan on coming so we know how much dinner to provide.
If you have any questions feel free to comment or ask Tara Munro, Sarah Betts, Caleb Craig, Peter Gorgui, or Mrs. Bryan.
Stay posted for more information about the Wash 4 Life event that will take place on September 13th!
Thanks,

First Day of School
Hey everybody I wanted to give you a heads up on what to expect on the first day of school.
It begins at 12:00 noon. At 5:00 the parents will join us for a BBQ. You can expect to leave the school around 6:30.
The first day of school is awesome! We get to sleep in and only have 15 minute classes! We also do some cool activities to get to know one another. This year we are going to have about 15 German exchange students with us. They arrived in the U.S. on August 8th and several DCHS families have welcomed them into their homes. Take advantage of the time with the German students to discover the cultural differences and similarities.
Although we do have a relaxed and fun first day be prepared for the second day of school... get some sleep and remember to turn in your summer reading.
Most Wednesdays we have chapel and the girls are required to wear skirts and the guys are to wear ties. This does not apply on the first day of school... but feel free to wear skirts and ties if you want to... I think I might wear a skirt :) Either way you are expected to be in dress code the first day.
If you have any questions about the first day of school feel free to comment!

A New Year!
So its not January 1st but in the lives of teenagers and teachers the beginning of fall represents a new year. Your Delmarva Christian SLC is well on its way to success. We have just returned from camping at Trap Pond where we held our fist official meeting of the 2008-2009 school year. We have tons of ideas and plans to put them into action. We are going to need some help from all you guys too.
I'll recap what we have planned for just the first two months of school.
The executive board: Peter Gorgui, Tara Munro, Caleb Craig, and Sarah Betts, have selected devotions that will begin being read on the first day of classes. They have also began preparing for bible studies that they will lead beginning the 15th of September. There will be a guys study of "Every Young Man's Battle" and a girls study of "Every Young Woman's Battle". Everyone is invited to come, keep your eyes open for signs in the hall for more information on each of these studies.
The School Spirit Team: Chloe Johnson and Emily Pentoney,
have been busy planning Spirit Week which will be the 22nd through the 26th of September. They have also designed some AWESOME class t-shirts for this year. I am so excited for everything they have got going on!
The Social Coordination Team: Kattie Parsons and Keina Harmon,
have been brainstorming like crazy and have come up with a carnival theme for our homecoming. There will be your classic carnival activities and we hope to have a time of country line dancing. We are really excited about this and hope you can come out after the games on the 27th and enjoy the night with us. (more details will be sent out soon)
The Community Outreach Team: Adam Troyer and Philip Gordon,
have been on top of the ball with planning our second annual Wash for Life, which will be held on September 13th. Wash for Life is a National movement is to make a greater statement. That statement is that "WE VALUE LIFE" Wash for Life is not an organization it is a movement. Check out their website! (the link is on the right side of this blog) The community outreach team is teaming up with the PTF to hold a community yard sale on the same day as the Wash for Life. The proceeds will go to the Sussex Pregnancy Care Center.
Spiritual Emphasis Team: Luke Mathews and Lauren Henry,
have planned the first chapel and set up a theme for the year, which will be "Striving for Excellence." It is very tough to come back from summer break and be motivated to start school work, but here at Delmarva we begin our classes and a lot is expected. As most of you know we are held to a higher standard and we pray that we will all strive for excellence all year long! Our spiritual emphasis team is also looking forward to September 5th. On the 5th Pastor Rob Brown will be bringing in a group of young adults to help influence and instruct our student body in witnessing and spreading the good news! The Saturday after the 5th will be an optional evangelical outreach in Rehoboth. this will be open to all students and we will be sure to supply you with more information.
We are extremely excited about the 2008-2009 school year. The SLC wants to accomplish as much as possible so we ask for your prayers in our motives and direction. We want everything we do to be done for God's glory and His will be done in each event. If you have any input, questions, or ideas feel free to comment!
Thanks!
