The week of May 2-6 is Teacher Appreciation week! 

This is a great time to bless the teachers and thank them yet again for all the wonderful hard work they do to help our students grow academically, mentally, and spiritually. Our theme is Bloom  based on 1 Corinthians 3:7-9. “So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.”

Below you will find a sign up genius of different ways we need your help. Feel free to sign up for multiple slots if you are able.  If you would also like to spoil your teacher in other ways ( ask your students what they like, they probably know!) feel free to do that too !  We are looking forward to making this a really great week for our teachers and we appreciate your help.

Building Project update… Moving forward…

Foundations are being poured! Volunteer opportunities coming!

We have started building the new high school classroom building!!  The general plan will be to complete the exterior of the building and as a “phase 1” to complete a portion of the interior that could be used by HS students in the 2022-23 school year!  Construction will be going on over the summer… please pray for good timing, agreeable weather, and God’s hand in the project.  You can help in the following ways:

1. Mr. Horning will continue organizing VOLUNTEER WORK CREWS. We had a couple helpers for the first foundation pour last Tuesday, and will be planning the second pour soon. Look for this information coming out via facebook and email… and sign up to help!  

2. We will CONTINUE TO RAISE FUNDS as the building is built… Currently funding sits at just over $225,000 raised, and as bills come in for payment (and material costs rise), we will need continued support to get to a completed project!  Now is a great time to commit to a donation or to tap the shoulder of a friend who might be able to help!

From the Principal's Desk

How exciting to join with CLA community at our groundbreaking on Friday, April 8, and then follow up with working with some of the CLA family on the jobsite last week.  As we move forward to build our new building, please pray for safety, sound planning, good weather, and God’s provision.  There are uncertainties, but the certainty of God’s hand in this project has been evident since the beginning, and we know He will see us through in His timing and with His plan prevailing.  I’m looking forward to working side by side with many of you in the coming months!

Blessings!

I am anxiously looking forward to celebrating Easter and remembering what the Lord has done - tonight (6:30 pm) at our school Easter worship service.  I hope that many of you will be there to join me!  Let’s all be prepared to hear, participate, learn and grow together!  How exciting to worship together as a school community… and to be led by our children!  The service is at Living Hope Community Church, and we greatly appreciate LHCC sharing their space with us.

Building Project update… Moving forward!

At the March school board meeting, the decision was made to START BUILDING!! We will be announcing an official “groundbreaking” soon, but we will likely see some action happening prior to that time.  The general plan will be to complete the exterior of the building and as a “phase 1” to complete a portion of the interior that could be used by HS students in the 2022-23 school year!  Construction will be going on over the summer… please pray for good timing, agreeable weather, and God’s hand in the project.  You can help in the following ways:

From the Principal's Desk

I hope that all of our families had a refreshing spring break.  In central IL, it sure hasn’t felt like spring the past week or so.  But we know that our Creator God handles the weather, and we can rest in the knowledge that He knows what is best for us.  

We can also rest in the fact that in a short while we will remember and recognize the most important and significant celebration… Easter!  We recognize the perfect plan that God had, to send His one and only Son, our Savior, to earth. Jesus, fully God, lived as a man, died, rose, and lives again… giving us an opportunity to live eternally with Him.  I look forward to sharing with you all in this celebration next week at our April 7 (6:30 pm) school Easter celebration at Living Hope Community Church.

Blessings!

From the Principal's Desk

What a joy it was to visit with families and friends at our Open House this past Tuesday.  I’m continually reminded of the amazing ways God works through our staff and students.  Smiling faces greeted visitors.  We joyfully shared what God is doing.  And excitement about the growth of our school continues to be evident.  Thank you, Lord, for your provision.  

Blessings!

The Lord is good.  His faithfulness can be seen in so many ways.  But I’d like to share just a “small” way… I’m blessed to see what happens in this school building every day.  Many Thursday afternoons, I walk down the hall, and see one of our seniors, Abby Martin, spending time with a Kindergarten or 1st grader.  Just a dozen years ago, Abby was one of those little ones, learning to read and do math…within these same walls - and learning to serve her Lord at CLA.  Now she influences others.  Such a great example to the little ones.  Thanks Abby!

Blessings!

From the Principal's Desk

I am continually amazed at the way our Great GOD works.  His timing is perfect, His miracles are amazing, and He shows us His faithfulness in small and large ways!  At our recent school board meeting, the board authorized me to move forward with preliminary “dirt work” and permits for our new building.  The official motion was “spend up to $5,000…”  It was a step of faith, as snow was on the ground, the fund had reached just over $150,000, and we were not yet at the “build now” mark on our fundraising thermometer.  In HIS perfect way, God confirmed this step of faith, as an unexpected check - for the building fund - arrived this week… in the amount of $5,000.  Praise the Lord for His timing, and for the individual who heeded the call to give.  This is just one of MANY situations in the course of our building project timeline where we have seen God work - in a DETAIL.  We are truly blessed, and so happy to serve our Great GOD!  Keep praying for the school and thanking the Lord for provision!

Blessings!

From the Principal's Desk

Tough times produce perseverance… which leads to character building … which allows us to have hope.  This idea, which comes from Romans 5, has such truth in it, but it sure can be difficult to “live through.”  Maybe you or your family is going through a tough time right now.  Maybe you have been through a tough time and have seen how it builds strength in your life.  Maybe you have a clearer picture of the HOPE we have in Jesus because He has carried you through.  If that’s the case, I’d encourage you to share that with someone!  Don’t just share the end result, but share the struggle that strengthened you… and then the hope you have because of it.  Be an encouragement to someone in their struggle.  Be a beacon of hope!  We know who holds the future!

Blessings!

As I spent a good part of the day today working on registration and enrollment work for next school year, my excitement and my hope for CLA’s future is even more focused.  I don’t know the plans that God has for our school in detail, but I know that He holds our future in “His righteous right hand” as Scripture tells us in Isaiah 41:10.  How reassuring this promise is!

It is exciting to see God work and His timing is always spot on!  After an exciting first day back to school last Thursday, I was blessed to receive a call regarding the dollar-for-dollar match that was being offered by a generous friend of CLA.  You see, even after excitedly sharing the news of our building fund thermometer in the morning chapel, by the afternoon I had begun to look at the gap that needed to be filled to get to the next goal -and was a bit discouraged.  God chose just that time to remind us that His timing is perfect, and give me an encouraging phone call!  God is so good.  Thank you for sharing God’s goodness with our school community!

Blessings!

Mr. Horning
