Devotional Thought:
John 14:15, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”

Jesus asks us to do a very important thing to show that we love Him: Keep His commandments. Just like with our parents or bosses, doing what is asked of us is easy  when everything is going well. It’s easier to do what is asked, even the more difficult tasks, when life circumstances are filled with roses. But when times are hard and everything seems to be going wrong, doing the right thing, following all the commandments all the time, becomes more difficult. It’s easy to let our mindset and view of life cloud our judgments and behaviors when life is challenging. However, if our desire is to show God we love Him, we are to walk in obedience to His commands (2 John 1:6). God never promised us an easy road, but He did promise to carry us through it (1 Cor. 10:13). So through thick or thin, be ready to show your love by keeping God’s commandments.

“Fabulous Five” As Reported By RCS Teachers:

I have asked each teacher to let me know the most fabulous thing that happened at RCS in the last week. On Tuesday mornings, Mr. Huemoeller, Mr. Warner, and I go through them and pick the “Fabulous Five” to share with parents.

Last Thursday was FABULOUS looking around campus during break and at lunch, it was a sea of the red white and blue. The enthusiasm and school spirit demonstrated by the highschool students was contagious. Click Here

Biology class saw historical evidence for how the modern scientific method came from the Christian worldview.

Watching the Girls Volleyball team play at their game was my highlight… I was so  encouraged by their teamwork and how they lifted each other up constantly. I was proud of how hard they worked and of their positive attitudes. Click Here

It was fabulous seeing the RCE Beginning Band students getting their instruments for the first time and starting to use them and seeing the delight on their faces when a sound came out of their instruments.

The Redwood Elementary students really understood how important it is to be thankful for those who serve and protect us and to be respectful of our country at the Elementary Patriot Day Chapel. I heard a student say, “That was the best Chapel ever!” Click Here
