This past week…

We all did a bit more "settling" in this week. I called them 4th & 5th graders more often than I called them 3rd & 4th graders. They are all getting more used to the routine. Of course, then we threw in Friday, with a mission presentation. When we have a Friday morning mission presentation or All-School worship our subjects get switched around a bit. We will all get used to that, also.

Music is such a wonderful way to praise the LORD for His gifts to us! 

The 5th graders got to hear from Chuck Jahnke on Friday. He comes to New London from FVL to give band lessons to our grade school children. Students get to start band lessons in grade 5. I hope many of them take the opportunity to learn one of those instruments. As it stands, we already have 10 out of 24 taking piano or guitar lessons here at ELS. Last year my students (Miss Schmidt's, too) learned to play the chimes. This could be a very musical class! Now, I just need to get the 4th graders to sing as loudly and clearly as the 4th graders.

Praise the LORD!

2 Chronicles 7:6
The priests took their positions, as did the Levites with the LORD’s musical instruments, which King David had made for praising the LORD and which were used when he gave thanks, saying, “His love endures forever.”
