Campus Happenings
May is a crazy yet wonderful month at
Conestoga Christian School; actually, the craziness began at the end of
April. What do I mean by crazy yet
wonderful? I say that May is crazy because of all the activities that are happening on campus. To give you an idea of what goes in May, let
me list our activities:
- Achievement testing for elementary and middle school students
- TSA State Competition
- Founders Dinner at Shady Maple with Auntie Anne Beiler
- Community Helpers Day in elementary
- Baseball, Lacrosse, and Track Competitions
- Piano and Voice Recital
- Senior Presentations
- Race for Education
- PSAT and AP Testing
- Open House
- Jr/Sr Banquet
- Spring Musical
- Athletic Banquet
- Evening of Science and The Arts
- Graduation
This list does not even mention field
trips, pep rallies, National Day of Prayer Chapel, lip dub project, and a lip
sync battle . . . anybody exhausted just reading through this list? I am!! With that said, May is wonderful! Our school has the opportunity to watch our students grow, flourish, and praise God through various activities. Should we limit the activities because we get tired? By all means no!
This morning, during staff devotions,
Mr. Everhart shared Psalm 90 with those present. Psalm 90:14 places the above activities into
perspective: “Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may
rejoice and be glad all our days.” Does
the business of life exhaust you just like it does me? If you answered yes, I hope the encouragement
of Psalm 90:14 restores you like it did me.
When we seek satisfaction in God, we have peace which we will never find it in
a well run program or activity. The best
athletic team, musical performance, successful test, or activity will never
satisfy your soul like God can.
Philippians 4:4-7 reminds us to rejoice in all circumstances, leave our
requests at the Throne of our Lord, and the peace of God will guard our hearts
and minds in Christ.
If you have not been on campus in the month of May, I hope you join us soon. If you cannot join us, please pray for our staff, students, and
families as we all navigate these last few weeks of the school year.
In Him,
Kenneth T. Parris
Head of School
