Parent Letter - 12/16/22

December 16, 2022
By Bill Sharp

Dear Parents and Families of RCS,

What is so miraculous about the birth of Christ?  As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior in just over a week, I want to reflect on the significance of God's Son coming to Earth – Immanuel, or "God with us." When we look at the prophetic words spoken about Jesus in the Old Testament, we know that the birth and life of Christ fulfilled over 300 prophesies.  The Mathematician Peter Stoner concluded that the chances of one man, throughout history, even fulfilling 48 of these prophesies himself, was one in 10, followed by 157 zeros!!  His conception through the Holy Spirit qualifies Him to be fully God; his birth as a human baby through Mary qualifies him to be fully man.  He sits in heaven at God's right hand yet lives among, in, and through us as believers.  He died on the cross to take the weight of our conviction upon himself so we didn't have to.  Through his resurrection and ascension, we have the opportunity of eternal life with God.  The name "Jesus" (the Greek equivalent to the Hebrew Joshua) means the "salvation of Jehovah," which we have access to when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

Please remember that we will resume classes on TUESDAY, 3 JANUARY 2023.  Other important dates to remember in January:

  • 16 January – NO SCHOOL – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
  • 26 January – Open House, starting at 6 pm

Be on the lookout in the coming weeks for instructions regarding the re-enrollment process.  We look forward to continuing our partnership with you and your student in "Educating Hearts and Minds for Christ."

Here is an easy way to support RCS by just "doing what you do." If you shop at Kroger (or know anyone else who shops there), all you have to do is link your Kroger Shopper's Card to RCS.  Here is a link to do just that - https://www.kroger.com/i/community/community-rewards.  Please tell/encourage anyone you know who shops at Kroger to link RCS to their Shopper's Card.  Thank you!

May the Lord bless you and your family with health, safety, and sweet fellowship as we usher in 2023!!  We love you and are grateful for you all.

Blessings,

Bill Sharp, M.Ed.
Head of School
