Middle School Kicks Off the New Year

For the first middle school Chapel of the new year, students were asked to write down New Year’s resolutions – something about themselves that they would like to change or improve upon this year.  Mr. Hedrick then led a discussion that focused on the typical failures of resolutions for most people. He pointed out a very distinct difference that we, as Christians, have.  We have Christ on our side to help us as we strive to constantly be better.  To symbolize this point, students were then asked to take their written resolutions and put them upon a paper cross displayed at the front of the room.  The end product was a cross laden with hopes for our students’ new year – a powerful visual example of something we can all remember this year.
