Detroit Servathon 2010

On Thursday, September 23, 2010, all of the students from Macomb Christian along with the teachers and many parents participated in the Detroit Servathon. There were 4 other schools (Southfield Christian, Oakland Christian, Washtenaw Christian, and Franklin Road Christian) that participated in the Detroit Servathon. The students of Macomb Christian were spread throughout the community.

The EEC students cleaned up around the school and went to visit our neighbors. The lower elementary students stayed at school to clean up the gardens and pick up trash. They also made cards to send to soldiers. The upper elementary students went to a local nursing home to sing songs and take cards to the residents. The junior high students cleaned up the gardens at a local nursing home and picked up trash along Martin Road. The 9th and 11th grade students went to Bunert Schoolhouse to scrape the paint to get it ready to be painted. Some of the students were able to help start painting the schoolhouse as well. The 10th grade class went to 4 homes of Warren residents that needed some help with yard work. The seniors went to Central Detroit Christian with the senior classes from the other schools. Our seniors spent time organizing a warehouse.

The Servathon was an incredible day. I was able to spend time with each group throughout the day. I loved seeing our students, teachers, and parents working side by side to help other people. God blessed us with a beautiful day. The students were able to accomplish a lot on all of the projects they worked on. I am looking forward to making the Servathon an annual event!

The First Full Week of School

This past week was the first full week of school. The sports seasons are in full swing with all of the teams busy practicing and having games. Last Monday was the first "Munchy Monday" at Leason's. There is a new location each month so be watching your email for the details.

Friday night was the Friday Night Blast sponsored by the 9th grade class. The students worked hard coming up with new ideas for this event and getting ready for it.

This week will be another busy week. On Thursday our school will be participating in the Detroit Servathon with 5 other Christian schools. Our students, parents, and staff will be doing different service projects throughout the community. Please join with me in praying for this event!

"How Great Are Your Works, O Lord!" (Ps. 92:5)

Psalm 47:2, “How awesome is the Lord Most High, the great King over all the earth!”

Psalm 107:1, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”

I have had many people ask me about the enrollment for the school year. Many of you may know the great news, but I wanted to make sure that all of you know. Right now, our K-12 enrollment is 173 students! This is 14 more students than we had last year! We had 90% of our families from last year return for the 2010-2011 school year.

This is truly amazing to think how God has provided for Macomb Christian not only this past year but since the school started in 1983. Thank you to all of you who joined with us in prayer as we asked God to provide for MCS. May God be praised!

Please join with me as thank God for his abundant blessings and continue to pray for His direction for the school.

Psalm 113:2, “Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.”

Psalms 126:3, “The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”

The First Two Weeks

The 2010-2011 school year is underway and things are going well. The first 2 weeks have been very busy weeks. It seems like everyone is adjusting to the routine of coming to school again, but I think everyone was glad for the long weekend.

The first PTC (Parent Teacher Congress) meeting will be Tuesday, September 7 at 7:00 pm in the library. This is a great opportunity for you to find out how to be more involved at the school. Parents can also earn a continuing education hour simply for coming to the meeting.

I have had several people ask me what the enrollment is for this year. Currently, we have 170 K-12 students! This is 11 more students than we had last year. Whenever I think about this, I am amazed at how God has provided. We prayed and asked God to send us more students and He has! My prayer has been and will continue to be that Macomb Christian will follow God's leading and be the school that He wants us to be!
