Warrior News

Dear Warrior Nation,

Why Christian education?  This week, we will focus on the spiritual aspects of RCS.  Proverbs 11:10-11 says, “When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy. Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.”  This righteousness only comes through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ since we have no righteousness on our own.  So, where does RCS fit into all of this?

First and foremost, ALL staff members at RCS (including support staff, coaches, and substitutes) have a personal testimony of salvation and demonstrate a relationship with Christ.  If we are going to “Educate Hearts and Minds for Christ,” we need staff that understands and live it out daily.  From that perspective, teachers and staff take opportunities throughout the day to pray with students and for students.  They open class with prayer, take prayer requests, and spend time disciplining students to help them grow in their faith.  Weekly chapel services bring each division together to praise God and hear from His Word.  Discipleship groups spend time together in small groups to pray and study the Bible, helping students to learn God’s Word and apply it to their lives.  The school designates a Spiritual Emphasis Week twice a year, focusing entirely on hearing from God and learning how to minister the gospel effectively.  All of these things, covered by the peaceful presence of the Holy Spirit, make RCS a beacon of light for our families and the surrounding community.

Mrs. Waddill would like to give a huge THANK YOU shout-out to all who made our Fall Book Fair a tremendous success. Overall, sales totaled $7,000, which means RCS will receive $1,500 to spend on adding selections to our library book offerings. Besides the blessings our students received from your purchases, many of you also contributed by purchasing from teacher “wish lists,” which also helped expand their classroom libraries.

On Tuesday evening, the main hall and cafeteria became a black light festival dubbed “Glow Night.”  After weeks of preparation, the elementary team did an outstanding job developing many fun games and activities and blessing our students with an active, fun-filled night.  Great job, elementary team!!

This week, we close our fall Little Warriors soccer season.  But fear not!  Basketball is right around the corner.  Be on the lookout for more information from Mr. Hauser, Athletic Director.  Also, please pray for our cross-country and varsity volleyball teams who are competing in the VMAC championships this weekend, with a berth in states on the line for some.  We appreciate the coaches of all teams this fall season for their hard work and dedication to our student-athletes.

Be safe and blessed this weekend, and thank you all for supporting this ministry!

All 4 Him!
