The School Year Has Started

Redlands Christian School opened the classroom doors this morning to 488 students. Picture Movie larger format and Picture Movie smaller format

After a bit of time for classroom organization, students, staff and parents gathered in the gym for a time of praise! Mr. Witvliet welcomed all to campus. Then Mr. Mercer and his band (Mr. and Mrs. Leonard, Mrs. Layel) led us in Praise and Worship. It was wonderful!

Mr. Leenstra welcomed the new parents and students to RCS. They get his business card with his phone numbers. Pastor Paul Newell challenged all the 1st - 8th graders to "Guard Their Hearts". Guard your heart by listening to the right things, deciding to look at appropriate material and choose words carefully. Hang with good friends who honor the Lord. Miss Barr closed with prayer and students headed to class.

FYI: Mr Mercer wrote a special song Word of the Lord as our Theme Song. Soon we will attach it to this page. Thank you, Mr. Mercer.

"Guard Your Heart" based on Proverbs 4:23-27.

Above all else, guard your heart,
   for everything you do flows from it.
Keep your mouth free of perversity;
   keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
Let your eyes look straight ahead;
   fix your gaze directly before you.
Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.
Do not turn to the right or the left;
   keep your foot from evil.
