Spiritual Emphasis Week 2009

It is Spiritual Emphasis Week at Rosslyn Academy: Each afternoon the Elementary School is taking part in a program of "Spies in Space" as they have fun learning about what it means to follow God.

Emma is in the Spiritual Emphasis Worship Team this year and she is having fun leading the songs and teaching the actions to her fellow students.

Erica and I are volunteering each afternoon as leaders of an activity station. The children are decorating T-shirts with us to help them to remember that "The Bible helps us to know what God wants us to do to follow God's path." Through the week Erica is teaching twelve different groups about what it means to "Follow God" and to follow the steps of painting their shirts.

"Obey me and I will be your God

and you will be my people. Walk

in all the ways I command you

that it may go well with you."

Jeremiah 7:23

If you give a kid a paint brush, you never really know what to expect. Here are just a couple of cases in point! (They are two works of art that just put a smile on our faces this afternoon -- enjoy)


"Follow God ... fool"

"Follow Gob"

We are blessed to be able to be apart of this week with our children and the students at Rosslyn Academy!
