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 …
Throughline: Creation Enjoyer – HS Senior
To me, a throughline is in a way, a connecting theme between you and the way you live your life through God. I think that I most relate with the throughline of enjoying creation.

What is a Blessing — HS Senior
What is a Blessing? Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary defines the word ‘Blessing’ as, “The act or words of one that blesses.” as well as, “A thing conductive to happiness or welfare.” Personally, I think the dictionary could have worked a little harder on their definition, but maybe that’s just me (I mean really, who uses the …
Why Chapel? — High School Chapel Coordinator
“Why Chapel?” This was the question I asked various groups at LCHS when I stepped into the role of Chapel Coordinator. The answers varied, but there were a couple of themes that many had in common. One was a desire for a sense of “community” at LCHS. There are very few times where the whole …
