“This little Gospel light of mine,
I’m going to let it shine.  Let it shine
all the time. Let it shine.” Be a
Beacon for the Lord is the theme
for the school year. When this
phrase is said it should be a
reminder of the children’s song.
“All around the neighborhood, I’m
going to let it shine.” The theme is
an extension of last year’s theme
of Love is the Motive. Once love is
in our hearts and minds, we as Christians need to be a
guiding light for all people.   We are going to cast a light
for all the world to see, because of who we are and what
we stand for. We are saved through Christ’s ultimate love.
