Cards for Haiti
Students at Evangel Christian School in kindergarten through 5th grade created over 120 pictures and cards to let the children of Haiti know that they are loved and not forgotten!
The students have been praying everyday for the children of Haiti and we wanted to put our prayers into action! So the students made cards and pictures and collected a donation for the families in Haiti.
Our prayer is that these cards of encouragement will be hung all around the country of Haiti in the NEW SCHOOLS that will be built for the children! God bless you Haiti and we love you!
ESL Class
The Korean ESL students have started working on their writing this month. As English language learners, organizing and writing out their thoughts in English is not an easy task. So we are looking at how to brainstorm and organize ideas in Korean and then working on writing grammatically correct sentences in English. It is a work in progress and we plan to practice more writing throughout this semester. We also started reading articles from the free AM papers. The language is simple enough for the students to read and it is giving them a broader understanding of the American culture and what goes on in the community so it’s a very helpful tool. I am so blessed to be working with such a great group of students and I am excited to help them learn and acquire their second language!

Check Mate!
On Wednesday, January 13th, Evangel Christian School hosted a Chess Tournament in preparation for the first Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) Chess Tournament. Schools throughout the Northeast region will come together to participate in this fun yet challenging game of strategy. Students played multiple games in the intense elimination rounds. We thank all the students who participated and are praying for the team members who will be competing on February 12th in Newton Square, PA.
Christmas Program
Go! That was the theme shared by our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students on Thursday, December 17th at Evangel Christian School’s Annual Christmas Program. Using the Christmas story as the basis, Middle School demonstrated how God calls us to Go Lead!, Go Obey!, Go Risk!, Go Tell!, and Go Serve! Students read poems they had written on their own, sang songs, danced, and performed dramas as each segment demonstrated how we can do one of the five “Go’s.” The grand finale featuring all Middle School students singing Jesus, Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child ended the performance on a truly high note. The students practiced many hours and their hard work did not go unnoticed as many guests shared how blessed and touched they were by the message. So remember, when God tells you to go–GO!

Bowery Mission Trip
On January 7th, students from Pastor David Ham’s Drama elective performed their amazing mini-play entitled Freedom Cry during our bi-monthly trip to The Bowery Mission in Manhattan, New York. Freedom Cry tells the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus, with a twist–it’s set in modern times! Through this magnificent drama, we see how when we allow ourselves to be used of God and risk ourselves, truly miraculous things can happen. Our elementary students helped to bless those in attendance with handmade cards. We appreciate being allowed to minister in such an impactful way. Share our day with us by checking out the photographs in the Gallery section of our website.

Joy
This month we studied our Character trait – JOY!. We learned that Joy is not based on outward circumstances but rather on an inward relationship with Jesus. Joy brings meaning to the word Christmas. We also wrote poems to express the joy that Jesus brings to our lives. It was awesome to see the young people share their poems during the Christmas program.

Joy
We studied Joy, this month, which was fitting seeing how it was the holiday season. We looked at the life of Mary and the joy Jesus must have brought to her life. We also wrote poems to express the joy that Jesus brings to our lives. It was awesome to see some of the young people share their poems during the Christmas program.

How We Received Our Bible
We studied how we got our Bible. How it was handed down through the ages. The Bible is a trustworthy book that has a unique claim on our lives. We are learning to love our Bible and the Great God who is revealed in it. It is God’s love letter to us! Thank You Lord that we have Your word to read and to study!

Nehemiah
We studied the life of Nehemiah this month. Nehemiah’s life has a lot to teach us. Nehemiah was true a leader and he was full of compassion, caring for the needs of others. He is a great example of a servant leader. A servant leader leads by example and is willing to get their hands dirty. Our ultimate example is JESUS!
