Things to Know this Week (Jan 26)

RCS Families,

 

Thank you for supporting the arts at Renton Christian! We had a packed house last night for the opening night of our musical theater performance of Wizard of Oz. Our students did so well! Their creativity and God-given gifts shown through so well. All remaining shows are sold out! We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the remaining performances tonight and tomorrow.

 

Here are a few of things to know this week:

 

Join the Sonshine Learning Center Team! 

On March 4^th we are launching a new location of Sonshine Learning Center in Covington (near Kentwood High School) at the brand-new Covington Campus for New Life Church. We are still looking to hire six people to join our SLC team as classroom teachers and classroom assistants. We will have open positions at both campuses. If you, or someone else is interested, CLICK HERE to see open positions and to apply. We are also enrolling new students for our Covington Campus.

No School | February 2^nd | Teacher Professional Development

RCS will be closed on Friday, February 2^nd for teacher professional development. SLC will be open at normal hours. BASC will provide full-day care for those registered.

 

Leak Update

God’s protection and provision continues to be evident in the 10 days since the broken fire sprinkler flooded our server room and computer lab. All affected areas have been fully and professionally dried out. All damaged sheetrock and flooring have been removed. All damaged equipment has been inventoried and removed. All critical systems have been restored with a temporary solution while the rooms are reconstructed. Replacement equipment and supplies have been reordered. We are working with the insurance company to approve the restoration scope. If everything continues to go well, we hope to have the bulk of the construction take place during mid-winter break and have everything restored (or near completion) when we return on February 26^th.

 

Encouragement and Prayer:

This month I have been reading Genesis and Exodus. It is amazing to see God’s intentionality through this narrative as He protected, provided, and redeemed His people. God’s presence guided the Israelites through the desert with a cloud by day and a pilar of fire by night. Despite God’s providence and presence, the Israelites succumbed to fear, selfishness, and sinful behavior. Regardless, God desired reconciliation and provided continuous opportunities for the Israelites to turn their hearts back to Him. Today, we are susceptible to pressures, temptations, and sinful tendencies that can separate us from God. We need to make daily decisions to grow our faith and draw closer to Him. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can be fully reconciled to God. Although we can accept the gift of salvation in a moment, our spiritual development is a continual process.

 

I pray that God would draw you close to Him. I pray that you will commit again to live for God aligned with His nature and will. I pray that God will continue to protect and provide for your family and for Renton Christian.

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Thanks,

 

Randy McMillan
