“T

he more things change, the more they stay the same,” is a common expression. However, that’s not true about our culture and our world.

What is true is that “principles never change, nor does God’s word.” They do remain the same and trustworthy.

We have watched the morals and ethics of people drastically change in recent years. Progressive erosion is obvious. What was once objectionable behavior has become ordinary and acceptable. Appearance, language, and personal conduct have changed so radically that it’s hard to tell the difference between acceptable and offensive. The basic family structure has been altered to reflect societal approval of same sex marriage and living together outside of marriage.

The idea of absolute truth has been replaced by relativism, secularism, and by one’s own interpretation of truth, but only as it applies to a particular individual.

And you know what? These new paradigms apply across generational lines, not just with our youth.

Children’s Home, the word of God still lives and abides forever. We believe in the inspiration and authority of scripture, and are committed to teaching it to every child/student in our care ( 2 Timothy 3:16). Students are taught science, math, and history from a Christian point of view, not the politically correct worldview. Family values and Godly principles are foundational as we seek to uphold the heritage of America.

Many children come to us from adverse situations, broken and abusive homes without structure or discipline. They have little or no knowledge of God’s eternal love and plan of salvation. While here, they will come to know Jesus and His word. They learn that “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:118).

2016 will be a pivotal year as political elections are held to choose new leaders at every level of our government.

Politicians will make promises and commitments to bring change to our country and way of life. Some will pledge to restore America to its former self, and others will vow to keep us on a more progressive path. Genuine debate will be replaced by mudslinging, criticism, and outright dishonesty as candidates jockey for position for your vote. Sadly, not enough will be spoken about reviving Christian values and ideals.

All God’s blessings,

There is one thing I can assure you that has not and will not change. At Mount Dora Christian Academy &

Dr. James E. Moore

Our mission of Educating for Life and Eternity has never been more important in our 70year history. I urge you to join me as we endeavor to “speak the truth in love” to those who desperately needs to hear the “good news.”

We seek your prayers and financial support as we change lives, one child at a time.

re you trying to lose a little weight, regrow some hair, or whiten your teeth?

Want a bigger house with more stuff in the garage? And, how about the newest iPhone?

Gotta have one, right? Wrong. In our hyper busy, consumer-oriented world, it seems like no one is content with their current state of being. Contentment is an abstract word that has all sorts of meanings. Is there a secret to being content?

The Apostle Paul said, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:12-13.

Like most everything in life, salvation is based on choice. From the minute we get out of bed in the morning, until the moment we fall asleep at night, our days are filled with choices.

Hundreds, if not thousands of choices are made each and every day. Some are so trivial we don’t even think about them, but some are so significant we can’t ever seem to come to a decision. For many, choosing to follow God is one of those difficult ones.

The Joy of

Giving

True contentment is not based on possessions or appearance, but on our relationship with God. Think about salvation. Can you buy it? Where do you get it? How much does it cost? The answers: salvation comes from God and is priceless, but it is freely given.

Unfortunately, not everyone will receive it. On the surface, that doesn’t sound possible. How can something be priceless and at the same time be free? Even if it is free, why won’t everyone have it?

God in His infinite wisdom gave humans the ability to choose.

I think the writer of Hebrews may have discovered the secret. “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said; never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

C

hristmas is special for the children at Mount Dora Children’s Home, thanks to the generosity of several churches and other groups that host parties or give gifts each year during the holidays. Thanks to churches and other donors for making Christmas special this year!

“I would like to thank all the churches and individuals for the tremendous outpouring of support to the children and families at Mount Dora Children’s Home during the holiday season,” said Director of Social Services Chuck Shepherd. “You have truly made a difference and brought joy to the children as a result of your giving spirit.

Thanks for making Christmas special, and for blessing all the children and families in our program.”

Preoccupation with material goods, physical looks, and personal fulfillment can cloud our minds and prevent us from choosing to follow God. The one possession we need more than anything in life is the most attainable, yet might be the most elusive.

Here’s another way to find contentment; be a cheerful giver and support the work at the Children’s Home and school. You’ll make an eternal difference in the lives of children and experience the joy of giving. For more information, give us a call 352-383-0762 or visit our websites; MDCAcademy.org and MDCHome.org.

More than just

A DINNER

B

enefit dinners are much more than just fundraisers. In recent years, children and single moms have been referred to us because of someone learning about our services at a benefit dinner. Sharing the Children’s Home story and asking for referrals are two of the key purposes of the four to six regional benefit dinners we host each year. They also provide an opportunity for us to say “thank you” to all of the donors and volunteers who help make our ministry possible.

SPRING 2016 1375MDCAMAGAZINE0130.indd 4-5

Audiences love our benefit dinners. They get to meet some of the children and single moms, seeing first hand where their donations go and who is being helped. Benefit dinners are a great time for areawide church fellowship, since the audience includes members from several Churches of Christ who may not gather together at any other time of the year. And yes, they are also critical to our fundraising efforts. Last fiscal year, more than $190,000 was raised for our annual budget.

Montgomery, AL., was the site for the first benefit dinner of 2016, held on Feb. 4 at Faulkner University. Several more benefit dinners are scheduled for this year. We hope you will make plans to join us at one of the following dinners.

Jacksonville, FL: April 2,Jacksonville Marriott Tampa Bay Area, FL: April 30, Holiday Inn Tampa Airport/ Westshore Nashville, TN: Aug. 6, Franklin/Cool Springs Marriott Pensacola, FL: TBA (Fall 2016) Tallahassee, FL: TBA (Fall 2016) Admission is free, but tickets are required. Tickets are distributed through participating churches. If your church would like to help promote a dinner in your area, please contact Dave Hogan at dave. hogan@MDCHome.org or call 352-383-2155, Ext. 259.

into simple steps that every member can follow.

“I tell them (members) to put in at least $2.50 a week per can. Just about everybody can do that,” Cobb said, noting that Arlington informs members upfront that they have eight weeks to finish filling their cans. “Our goal is to raise at least $20 per can.”

Promotion and Persistence Churches that are most successful with Change for Children remind the congregation frequently and promote the program using all available channels. Timberlane Church of Christ in Tallahassee is one church where persistence pays off. Their most recent coin can drive generated $956 for MDCH. “An elder reminds the congregation from the pulpit each Sunday to pick up a can to support Change for Children,” said Ron Poole, who leads the promotion at Timberlane along with his wife, Cynthia.

ozens of churches participate each year in the Change for Children coin can drives to support Mount Dora Children’s Home, but a few churches stand out by consistently generating results that are well above average. What are their secrets? What can your church learn from these super stars?

Leadership and Commitment At nearly all of our top-performing churches, there is an individual or couple who assumes leadership and actively promotes the Change for Children program. This is the first “secret” to success: Identifying strong leaders who will be passionate and committed.

“Take ownership of the drive,” said Lisa Daniels, who leads the successful coin can drive along with her husband, Chris, at Northwest Tampa Church of Christ. “This is a ministry for Chris and me, and we appreciate the opportunity to use our lives to benefit others to God’s glory.”

Northwest recently raised $1,445 from their coin cans, thanks in part to Chris and Lisa’s leadership. Rather than merely placing the cans in the church lobby and hoping for the best, Chris and Lisa stand in the foyer and personally distribute the cans as members exit the Sunday worship service and classes. They make sure the program is announced in the bulletin, in the church’s email alerts, and from the pulpit.

Set Goals and Deadlines Arlington Church of Christ in Jacksonville recently raised $1,138 for Change for Children. Jerry Cobb, who leads the effort there along with his wife Ida and another member, Lavaba Timmons, said they set specific goals for the congregation and break it down

Stephanie Bennett, secretary at Jacksonville’s Mandarin Church of Christ, said they promote the coin can drives using all available resources, including email alerts, banners (MDCH provides professionally designed banners for churches), announcements and the church bulletin. Mandarin recently raised $671 for Change for Children.

Children Can Give, Too Coin cans are an excellent tool for teaching children about the values of giving and helping others. Several churches put cans in Sunday School classrooms, including at Mandarin, where Bennett said they are used in the nursery.

“Our little ones hear this (the Mount Dora Children’s Home story) every Sunday for the first three years of their lives,” Bennett said.

Other churches use coin cans in small-group ministries or encourage business owners to place them in public places.

Parading the streets of Mount Dora

M

ount Dora Christian Academy students and organizations participated in the 55th Annual Mount Dora Christmas Parade hosted by the Mount Dora Lions Club. MDCA’s VPK students and their families, K-Kids club, Junior and Senior Beta, and the homecoming court rode along the parade route down Donnelly Street waving and tossing candy to those lining the street. The MDCA parade participants were led by President James Moore, Head of School Brad Moser, and Principal of Lower Schools Lori Hadley.

Spreading Christmas Cheer at MDCA

Be Creative!

No other church has raised more for Change for Children in a single year than the small Central Church of Christ in LaBelle, Florida. In their best year, they raised an amazing $20,000. LaBelle’s “secret” is their minister, Steve Hildebrand, who was willing to think outside the box and come up with fun and creative ways to encourage greater giving. He has challenged his congregation in recent years by offering to kiss a goat, shave his head, and ride a hang glider, among other stunts, if the congregation would reach or exceed their annual fundraising goals for Change for Children.

We Need Your Church’s Help Money raised through the Change for Children coin can collections helps support the children and single parents who live at Mount Dora Children’s Home. This is a program that every church can support, since the money is collected by members and is not part of the church budget. We need more churches to take the challenge.

Won’t you please consider joining the Change for Children program? We host drives in the spring and fall, typically lasting about 10 weeks, but churches are welcome to join the program at any time. For more information, contact the Development Office at 352-383-0762 or email us at development@MDCHome.org.

A Christmas Program Filled with Cheer

M

ount Dora Christian Academy’s elementary students put on a Christmas Program filled with laughs, lots of reindeer, elves, and even Santa! Directed by Music Teacher Leah Richmond, each grade performed a couple songs to narrate the story of “Christmas at The North Pole.” Miss Richmond’s family designed all the costumes and wrote the story. Families and friends listened to jingles with a rock n roll twist, a lullaby flare, and even a dancing waltz! After the production, all attendees were invited to join together to sing traditional carols to spread Christmas cheer.

THE WAY/Key Club Continues Its Outreach Mount Dora Christian n December, 38 members of THE WAY/Key Club, Academy Launches I along with Sponsor Cindy Brown and Assistant New Sports Radio Show Sponsor Scott Simpson, traveled once again to the

Orlando Christian Service Center to help Central Florida’s homeless. In this Jackets for Jesus III campaign, club members collected, sorted, bagged, and distributed 550 coats and jackets. They also served lunch on that day. It was the first mission to the Center for several of the students. “The executive director and staff at OCSC were very impressed with the compassionate heart and work ethic of every club member,” said Brown. “This interaction with some of the most impoverished people in the area gives the students an insight that cannot be obtained in any other way. The impact is evident.” THE WAY was founded in 2011 by students as a student-led service organization. Even though THE WAY became a chartered member of Key Club in 2015, the group continues to serve under its original name chosen by the founders.

ount Dora Christian Academy hosted its first First Tech Challenge (FTC) Robotics Competition in December. The competition was sponsored by a number of local and nationally recognized companies including Mount Dora Community Trust, McLin Foundation, Publix, Lockheed Martin, Coca-Cola, and ChickfilA. This year’s competition theme was First Res-Q; eighteen teams made up of students from Lake, Orange and Osceola County public and private schools were matched up against another team to complete a series of tasks that tested the robots and driver skills. The robots were designed by high school students and were required to remove debris, climb mountains, and rescue climbers within a two-minute time period. The winner of the competition was determined by the most matches won during the day and the result of the final tournament.

A number of Mount Dora Christian Academy faculty, students, and school clubs, volunteered to check teams in, keep score, and guide teams and their robots to their scheduled matches.

At the end of the season, following the League Championships in January, each team received its rankings among the league and the State of Florida.

Dawgs of Steel finished 11th in the league, 53rd in the State; Alpha Dawgs finished 9th in the League and 43rd in the State; Deceptidogs finished 7th in League and 37th in State. “This year was a success! The results from this year is the best our programs have ever placed. The students are very proud of their accomplishments!” said Robotics Sponsor Bill Hamilton.

What is this World Coming To? “We live in what is, but we find 1,000 ways not to face it. Great theatre strengthens our faculty to face it.” – Thornton Wilder

O

n December 11-13, MDCA’s secondary theatre department presented “What is this World Coming To?”, an original cabaret offering a poignant yet light hearted look at life. Director Cheryl Abbate said, “I wanted the kids to be able to explore characters, scenes, and songs that they were interested in playing.

I asked them for suggestions. Some chose characters very much like themselves, while others wanted to play a role on the complete opposite spectrum of their personalities. Once we sat down and

started to put the selections together, we had a really intriguing piece that followed life from birth to death and the important moments in between.” The cabaret offered a social commentary on friendship, loss, love, vanity, and greed. It all ended with a full 35 member cast rendition of “Seasons of Love” reminding the audience to value every second of life for “it’s all about love.”

The MDCA theatre department wants to thank our graduating seniors for their dedication to the arts: Paloma DeLeon,

M

ount Dora Christian Academy Senior Brook Fisher committed to St. Ambrose University on a bowling scholarship in December. Brook and her family, Athletic Director Jim Nichols, Head of Schools Brad Moser, and her closest friends shared in this moment in the Samuels Student Center. Brook Fisher began her bowling career at MDCA in the 8th grade. Athletic Director Jim Nichols is so excited for Brook’s future, saying, ““We are so excited for Brook and her signing with St. Ambrose University.

I know she has looked forward to this day for a long time and has put in a lot of hard work. She has excelled in other sports as well on campus but bowling is the one she has decided to take her skills to the next level. MDCA couldn’t be happier for her accomplishments here and wish her the best of luck in the future.”

Q&A with Brook What do you love about bowling?

I love the intensity of the game, and the difference just one strike could do for your team. I also love the feeling of being able to bowl last and if you strike out you could win by just a couple of pins.

Finally, I love being the anchor and having the pressure of knowing that it has all come down to me to determine if the team succeeds.

What are you looking forward to at St. Ambrose?

I’m looking forward to meeting the players on the bowling team, being in a new place, and the snow!

How do you prepare for a game?

I don’t really do anything to prepare for a game besides try to get my mind right for it and clear my head of negativity.

Anyone you would like to thank for helping you get into St. Ambrose?

I would like to thank Blake Eldridge. and his parents for taking me to St. Ambrose in February to look at the college and bowl with the team up there. The St. Ambrose guidance counselors have been emailing me everyday to keep me informed about new things offered at the school. Finally, I would also like to thank my parents and boyfriend for the encouragement, as well as my family and friends.

Varsity Cheerleader Performs at Disney S

enior April Kossin was invited by the Universal Cheerleading Association (UCA) to perform in the annual Disney World Varsity Spirit Spectacular on December 3-7, 2015. Last summer, April qualified for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity while attending UCA summer cheer camp. Once selected, April was given the material to learn for the performances, and also a custom made Christmas cheer uniform. During the event, 800 cheerleaders were divided into two groups – Team Mickey and Team Minnie – and marched in the Disney parades. April was on Team Mickey. When asked about her experience, April said, “I go to Disney all the time, but this time I wasn’t just a face in the crowd. I was someone the little kids looked at, waved to, and smiled at, and it was a great feeling.”

Jaycie, an outfielder and utility player for MDCA’s Varsity Softball team plans to join the University of South Florida’s softball program in the Fall of 2018. MDCA interviewed Jaycie to learn more about her recent life changing decision to commit to USF. What did you love most about USF after your first visit?

My favorite thing after my visit was how well the student-athletes were treated by the school. The school provides clothes, equipment, an awesome work out facility, and meals.

What are you looking forward to at USF? One of the things I’m looking forward to is getting to travel all over the country What is your favorite part about playing softball?

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve grown to love the influence I have on younger players. It encourages me to stay strong in my faith in God and keep excelling in the game.

What are your thoughts on USF Head Coach Ken Erickson?

I couldn’t ask for a better coach than Coach Ken. It is going to be really cool to say that I played for a USA Olympic coach. It is going to be really cool to say that I played for a USA Olympic coach.

Spotlight: Christina Delahoz

hristina Delahoz, a 2015 MDCA raduate and Valedictorian began her first semester at the University of Florida in the fall of 2015. After her first semester, MDCA wanted to know a little bit about how her first semester was going and how MDCA prepared her for her road ahead at UF. Christina began her journey as a Bulldog in a three 3 year old class at the Harden Early Childhood Center, her greatest influence in her life was her teacher Ms. Roberta Farley. While attending MDCA, Christina played softball and golf and \ participated in many of the service groups on campus. As a student beginning her journey at MDCA as a 3 year old, she quickly found her home among her studies and MDCA softball.

Christina graduated from MDCA not only as Valedictorian but as a President’s Award recipient. At the University of Florida, Christina is studying Health Science on the Pre-Med track and playing club softball. She also earned a 4.0 GPA in her first semester classes.

and it is evident from my success in college that they can prepare you for almost anything,” Delahoz explains. When asked to share a piece of advice for future MDCA graduates, she replied, “When times get tough and you feel like you’re overwhelmed with work and just life in general, just keep moving forward because God will carry you through.”

“CH&BS prepared me for college by helping me develop a good work ethic in order to succeed. I also learned a lot from my teachers
