For the past semester, elementary students have been memorizing Bible verses for each spiritual discipline that we have been learning in chapel. Today, we held our annual Bible memory contest and witnessed the excitement, readiness, and joy in reciting the Bible verses. GCFS witnessed such fruit that bears from all the love of God's word being spoken out loud.
. . . . . . Congratulations to Ms. Lee's 4th grade class who took the victory! All the elementary students were amazing and we are so thankful for your eagerness to learn and memorize His word! GCFS had the blessed opportunity to partner with 시립고덕 (Shee- Reep) elderly center to bring joy and love to the community and family there. We prayed and hoped that our hugs, smiles, and service would lighten and warm their hearts. As we introduced ourselves, Ms. Nathalie's music class prepared several performances k-8th grade and were able to provide joy with their talents. Elementary partnered with the elderly to make bead necklaces and bracelets while the secondary served in cleaning the community center. Service was so deepened by the love our students poured out today and it was an unforgettable experience and rich memories remain in our hearts through our service day today. GCFS, you are all AMAZING!
The elementary department has been growing so deeply in love with how to be more like Christ through the spiritual disciplines that have been taught every week. We are so blessed and privileged to memorize Scripture, learn what God values, and to practice the very teachings that God highlights in the Bible. This week, we learned what serving looks like. In the very nature of who Jesus was as fully God and fully man, he humbled himself and washed the feet of the disciples. Our chaplain- Ms. Cho led the teachers to serve our elementary students one by one and washed their feet during our chapel this morning. What a powerful way to display what serving looks like and ultimately how love looks like. We pray that all of our students will continue to extend themselves selflessly and generously to love one another. In light of our service day tomorrow, we are thankful that as a school we can have first-hand experience of learning how to serve how Jesus served!
Welcoming our new chaplain- Ms. Kristin Cho for the second semester by covering her in prayer. Thank you to our elementary head teacher, Ms. Kwon who led us in a time of blessing and encouraging her as we embark on a new series: Spiritual Disciplines! We look forward to the training and lessons that our students will learn and grow deeper in discipline!
Our chaplain, Ms. Hanna introduced to our elementary the meaning of celebrating with great expectation for the birth of Jesus Christ. We all were able to make our own Advent calendar in hopes to bring our families closer to celebrating Jesus and knowing him more. Daily missions begin tomorrow on the first day of December as we eagerly wait for Christmas!
Congratulations to Ms. Kwon's 2nd grade class who beat all the other classes and read the most books! They scored an ice cream date with the Vice-Principal as their prize! Continue to be excellent students who love reading!
We are so proud of all the cheering and energy that our GCFS students and teachers brought to our field day! What another eventful memory as we gathered together. As we approached the end, there was a tie and our last sport activity that took place was our tie breaker which gave the winning trophy to our yellow team! Congratulations!
