Theme For The 2016-2017 School Year - by Julie Ambler It is a year-end tradition at Woodlands Christian for the Head of School to discern and announce a spiritual theme for the upcoming school year. The hope is to perceive a theme that will guide our school, faculty and students to grow more like Jesus in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:52) Throughout the year, we reinforce these themes at chapel, in the classrooms, on the playing fields and in staff devotions. Our theme this year has been thrive. At The Woodlands Christian Academy, we want to see our students experience Jesus Christ working mightily in their lives so they may flourish and prosper. By grounding each student in God’s word, reminding them of Christ’s love, and helping them to discover their unique gifts and talents, we hope to stretch them beyond spiritual head knowledge to discover a richer, more meaningful life in the eyes of God. We hope to prepare them, not only to withstand the challenges of this life but also to thrive and produce abundant fruit for the kingdom. In order to thrive, our students need encouragement to take risks, try new activities, learn from failure, set high goals, and boldly share their faith with a dark and confused world. As Christians, we have the answer – in the person of Jesus Christ - which our world so desperately seeks. Let’s help our students to trust and live their faith. Let’s equip our students to go out into the world and fearlessly share the Gospel. Our theme for 2016-2017 is Courageous, and our Scripture verse is Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Please join us in prayer as we ask the Holy Spirit to unleash godly courage into the lives of our Woodlands Christian community so we can inspire leaders – spiritually, academically, physically and socially – to stand bravely in all circumstance for His glory. “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
