Elementary SEW – Tuesday

by

Elementary SEW

Today’s chapel was about God’s never-ending love for us. By acting out the parable of the lost sheep, Jerry shared with the students about how the Lord pursues us. He pursues us with love and determination. He pursues us without ceasing. How incredible is that? The creator of the universe loves us so much that he’ll continue to seek us even when we are unfaithful. Even when we turn our back on him. Why does he do this? Because he loves us – wholly, completely, and forever.

Please pray with us that the students and parents who were in chapel today would grow in their understanding of God’s amazing love. That they would feel what it means to be pursued and loved so greatly.

Elementary SEW – Monday

by

Elementary SEW

Today was the first day of Elementary Spiritual Emphasis Week (SEW). Each year we set aside one week to invite a guest speaker who will boldly share the gospel with the students. For the past six years, Jerry and Michaela Jacoby have been the elementary guest speakers. We love them! We love them because not only do they tell the students about Jesus, but they live out the love Jesus – they SHOW the kids Jesus. That is their gift to us each and every year.

Today Jerry shared with the students about how sin entered the world and about how God started a plan to rescue mankind from their sin.  He talked about how God pursues us because he loves us. He loves us not because of who we are or what we’ve done, but simply because he loves us.

Will you join us in praying for Jerry, Michaela, and the students of VCS? Pray for wisdom for the Jacobys and the staff as we share the gospel and answer questions. Pray for the students and parents as they hear the gospel that their hearts and minds would be open.

I Heart Hands

That’s right! It’s another challenge from I Heart Faces. This time they want to see pictures of hands. I’ve been really sick this week with tonsilitis, so I’ve had plenty of time to look through all the entries. They are amazing! You should definitely check them out here:

This is my entry for this week. I L-O-V-E this picture of our friends’ son. I’ve been holding onto it for awhile now, just waiting for the right challenge. I think it finally works.

Happy Birthday Thad!

Benefit Concert for the Philippines

Benefit Concert for the Philippines

A couple weeks ago, our Student Union organized a benefit concert to help the victims of the September flooding in the Philippines. It was an entirely student organized and run event. They did an amazing job. We got  to enjoy music, dance performances, and yummy Filipino food – and the students were able to raise 470 Euro.

We Heart Kisses!

It’s true. I do heart kisses. I mean have you seen this guy? Swoon.

However, this post isn’t about us, it’s about this week’s contest over at I Heart Faces. Lucky for me, last weekend I got to take some fun pictures of two very beautiful people who are getting married soon. We went to Schönbrunn for an afternoon, so the scenery is beautiful, too.
