From the Principal's Desk

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. They are the fruits of the Holy Spirit living in us and guiding us. (Galatians 5:22)  Many times we try so hard to “be good.”  And we should try.  But also remember that we rely on the guidance of the Spirit to help us demonstrate the fruit.  As we’ve begun a section in chapels about the fruit of the spirit, this is my aim for the students to understand.  That we need to be fully reliant on God to help us.  Keep trying, but keep relying on Him!  It’s a great reminder for all of us.

Blessings!

        Mr. Horning
