Because we have a daughter graduating from Rockbridge High School, we went to a senior recognition ceremony the other night. It was thrilling to see so many students from Forum Christian Church honored. It was an excellent tribute to the great families of Forum. That’s not what I want to focus on though. Amid all the academic achievements, the artistic awards, senior superlatives, etc. there was only one standing ovation given to a student during the night. This young man received an appointment to West Point and is dedicating his life to serving our country. I love it that we live in a community that still has parades to remember those who gave their lives in service. I love it that as a community we stand up and support young people who are choosing that career path. This Sunday we’ll pause in honor of those who have served our country.
Construction continues to bring about change on the Forum Campus. Rooms that are impacted are all preschool classes (2 yrs. – pre-K) now meeting downstairs in room 100 and the C.I.A. class (now meeting in rooms 207/209). Thanks go out to the Life groups that have helped so far in the cleaning process to make sure the facility is up and running for Sunday.
This weekend we’ll also have a family worship Sunday. During third service, all children ages 3 yrs. and up will worship with their families. If you want your children to worship with you during second service, just simply bring them with you. The text for this weekend is 2 Samuel 23 and we’ll look at David’s mighty men. Big picture: David’s mighty men were willing to do anything in the service of David…and he was just a man. What levels of courage, valor, sacrifice, and faith are you displaying for the King of kings and the Lord of lords?
There is still time to sign up to volunteer for the Show-Me Games. Here is the address to the registration form. https://www.smsg.org/volunteer/volunteer.php
Looking forward to this Sunday. — Scott
