A Note From The Principal
A Solid Rock
You may be looking at this picture thinking, “These are forts that 3rd and 4th graders are building. Is that really also part of giving glory to God?”
I would say, “Absolutely!”
Not only do our students get to create things with their hands, they get to expand their minds with ideas of trading clay pots for sticks, or large leaves for sticks (Mr. Kiser tried this one). They get to share with others and be proud of what they have done.
At ACS, we believe all of life is worship. We have a huge sign outside our garden beds, “Every Square Inch.” This idea comes from a quote from Abraham Kuyper, a theologian (1837-1920), “There's not a square inch in the whole domain of human existence over which Christ, who is Lord over all, does not exclaim, 'Mine'!”
So, how did I get from building forts to every square inch?
It is a mindset for us to see life through a reformed perspective, to be thankful for what we have, to not take things for granted and to be bold in how we celebrate the gifts God has given us.
