Leadership

Leadership is the one word that sums up most of the issues we are facing in this world today. So, as we knelt before our Lord last Thursday, leadership was the prayer on our hearts.  We prayed for the leaders of our school.  As we prayed, we realized that the head master of WCS should always be a priority when we pray.  He is the one who stands in the gap for us all.  However, from there, we prayed for the deans, the members of the school board, teachers, and staff; their importance can not be discounted.  Funny how prayer works, still on our lips came prayers for the parents, supporters, and ultimately the students at our precious school.  We desire for us all to be likeminded with Christ.

As you drive by our campuses this week, please lift all our leaders, from Mr. Gravitt to the precious pre-k students, up in prayer.  Have a great week.

Christian Education

We as parents of Weatherford Christian School realize our responsibility for the education of our children.  We have a special heart for Christian education and set that as a priority for our families.  How can we share that vision with others?  This year's Faith Promise dinner is a perfect opportunity.  Our speaker will be the headmaster at Sherwoood Christian Academy in Albany, Georgia.  If you think that sounds familiar, that is because Sherwood Baptist Church in that same town is responsible for the wonderful movies; "Facing the Giants", "Fireproof", and my favorite "Flywheel".  What a great conversation starter!  If you know anyone who has shown interest in why you choose to send your children to a Christian School, they may well be the ones to invite to join you at the Faith Promise Dinner on November 6th.  In fact, please prayerfully consider hosting an entire table.  Not only can you bless those who would love to be convinced that Christian education is an important step in safeguarding their legacy for their children, but it will also bless our school with more exposure and genuine support.

The only way our school can complete its financial vision, is for all of us to get involved and bring our community along with them.  We have several other events coming up to share with our community as well; our Fall Festival of Praise and our Chili-cook off.  Our prayer is for us to have fun AND share that fun with our Parker County community.

Our prayer power is growing!

Last Thursday our group doubled in size!  As we gathered  at the inspiring prayer room at our elementary campus, we were blessed as new Moms stopped in to pray with us.  We continued to pray for our children to "do hard things" and again lifted our leadership up as a group of men willing to listen to the Lord's guidance.  We also prayed for "A Place for Grace", a loving home of ten of our precious WCS students.  Join us this Thursday as we spend a few minutes in fellowship and prayer.
