Recap

Return to the Community Day was a great success last week. Thank you to everyone that helped plan and execute the wonderful day of service. Make sure that you fill out your community service logs so that you get credit for your service hours.

November 19th through the 21st the SLC will be attending a Leadership Conference. These days will be jammed packed with speakers, planning sessions, skill workshops, and times of praise and worship. This conference allows the SLC to regroup and focus on the latter half of our school year. We hope to iron out some plans for upcoming events. Our theme for this year has been "Strive For Excellence". We are really looking forward to this conference. Last year we made a goal to have more male leadership in our school, and this year we have eight guys on the SLC compared  to last year's five. On behalf of the entire SLC I ask that you would pray for us while we are on this trip, so that we will truly listen to what God's will is for our school.

Today our chapel was very good. Anthony Richards, from Ocho Rios Jamaica, spoke on resisting temptation. He named five ways that you can resist the devil's temptations. 

1. Recognize people or situations that bring trouble.
2. Run from wrong (It is easier to be drawn in then to walk away. Don't test yourself on how strong you are. Our only strength is through Him.)
3. Choose to do what is right
4. Pray for God's help
5. Seek friends who love God and can offer help when you are being tempted.

I would also like to open this blog for chapel requests. If you have song ideas, speaker requests, and any other kind of ideas or constructive criticism please feel free to share.

Thanks :)
Meg
