Special Religion Classes

As the school year winds down, the 8th graders will be doing something a little different on Friday mornings during Christian Studies class.  We will be looking ahead to high school and discussing some topics that will help prepare them to be a Christian in the bigger world outside the walls of FHLCS.  Josh Nix, the DCE at Trinity Hillsboro, has volunteered to come in and help with these classes as we cover topics like what it means to be Christlike, relationships, and witnessing.  This last Friday, we started by talking about being a counterculture and what it means to be in the world, but not of the world.  My prayer is that these classes give the 8th graders a tool moving forward that helps them shine the light of Christ and build on the strong foundation they have started here at Forest Hills in whatever places the years to come take them.
