LC
God is good
Hi my name is Dylan Kaemingk. Football has always been a part of my life and I started playing when I was 12, When I was in 6th grade, when I joined LC I played football and I was on our high school team for 4 years. My junior and senior year I was fortunate enough to be named All league Offense and Defensive line. My senior year I was also named All-State Offense and Defensive line. Over the next few minutes I hope to explain to you how different teachers and the football program have allowed me to grow …
It’s All About Love
It’s about love. At Lynden Christian, the focus of our Kindergarten is love. Will your Kindergartener learn to read and write better? Definitely. Will your Kindergartener learn basic mathematical skills? Certainly. Will your Kindergartener learn through play and social experiences? Of course. But your Kindergartener will also learn about and experience love. Our deep hope for each Kindergartener is that they will KNOW God loves them. Without a doubt and with that blessed childlike faith. Each Kindergarten teacher I have the honor and privilege of working with loves God whole-heartedly and transfers all that love into each child they greet …
Becoming A Bright Light
I and my family have been associated with Lynden Christian Schools for the past 75 years both as a student and teacher and I can truly say it has shaped my life. Often, I am asked whether I would have done something different rather than be a teacher at Lynden Christian and I emphatically say, no! This faith based community called Lynden Christian has provided me and my family with a quality education and a deep understanding of what community actually looks like in real life. The sacrifices which have occurred in so many families in order to send their …
A Reflection
Hello! My name is Kristin Dick and I am a senior graduating from Lynden Christian High School on June 6 of this year! I have attended LC now for fourteen years and have practically grown up in this school. This school is where I spend most of my time, and I have grown to see it as my second home. It has brought me countless memories and friendships that will last a long, long time. Although they seem like forever ago, my elementary school years were some of the best memories that I have. It was here that I met …
Throughline: Worship – HS Senior
Throughout the year, we’ve dove into many different themes and ideas relating to our beliefs and lives. A underlying theme can be found in all the ideas we talked about this semester, this theme is called a throughline. A throughline is essentially a life theme. It is an idea that can be found in every aspect of your life. For me, my throughline is worship. Worship is something that can be found in some form in my daily life. It is something usually unintentional, something subconscious. In my life, it can take form in music, praying, socializing, and being in …
Throughline: Justice Seeker – HS Senior
For my throughline that fits me best, I would say a justice-seeker, which is “acting as agents of change by identifying and responding to injustices.” Someone could live this out if they maintain being a Good Samaritan; it can be an act as simple as breaking up a bully if he’s picking on someone, but it can go all the way to something like what we learned in chapel this week: the topic of sex trafficking, and everything between these two examples. If you live your life this way, you might not be the richest person in the world, but …
Throughline: Servant Worker – HS Senior
The through line that I would say is most me, would be Servant-Worker. This is working to fix brokenness and bring joy. I am the person who wants to fix the things that are wrong so that joy can return to situation. An example of this would be like finding the middle ground in a situation so both sides can be happy as a result. An advantage of living like this is that you can turn a situation around to heal and fix brokenness and turn it into joy. I am the type of person that doesn’t want to deal …
Throughline: Beauty Creating – HS Senior
A through line is like “velcro” that connects things like facts, skills, and experiences and organizes them so they work together within a certain area. They help answer the question “How then shall I live?” The throughline that I think best defines me is beauty – creating. People with this throughline celebrate God as the Creator and, when creating different things, you know they are being made in the image of God. You use your creativity to please God and to praise him through it. This relates to my journey as a student because I find pleasure in God’s beautiful …
Throughline: Image Bearer – HS Senior
The throughline that I connect with is Idolatry Discerner because I understand that when we prioritize the things of things of this world over God we lose valuable time that can shape us. My challenge will be identifying, understanding, and recognising these idols while learning to respond “prophetically.” I know it is easy for everyday things to unconsciously take hold of our life; the first sin makes distraction easy. My journey, therefore, will consist of identifying the problem, understanding why it’s a problem, and learning how to recognize it in others lives. Hopefully I can help others move towards a …
