Joining Together For A Day Of Prayer

ACSI’s Global Day of Prayer was a morning to remember. On February 27, students in grades K-12, along with faculty and parents, gathered in the Student Life Center for worship and prayer. Lower School, Middle School, and High School Student Government Association officers helped bring the crowd to their feet as the songs, I Thank God and House of the Lord, rang out through the building's speakers and joyful voices filled the air.

Eighth grader, Isabella Schuman, spoke on the importance of small groups and the impact it had on her. "My favorite part was getting to pray in small groups. It allowed the time to be more personal and it was special getting to pray for the different prayer requests that my classmates had.” 

Abby Best, Director of Culture and Student Activities, emphasized the significance of bringing the entire school for a time of prayer. “We pray because we are grateful for the privilege to pour our hearts out to the Lord made possible by the gospel and because we are dependent upon the Lord to move in a mighty way through our student body and our school. From the youngest to the oldest students, along with teachers and staff, it was a wonderful time coming together to call out to the Lord.” 

ECBC’s Next Gen Pastor, Danny Beech, took to center court and gave a timely and powerful message to our entire student body – with the lower school on one side and upper school on the other. He shared from the Bible on the theme of God’s faithfulness: the Lord will be faithful to His character and to His plan. 

We are so fortunate to be in a school community where we can worship the Lord daily.

Spectacular Set Design Showcases Students' Creativity!

Tale as old as time.. Our middle school students are preparing for fantastic performances of Beauty and the Beast on Thursday, February 29, Friday, March 1, and Saturday, March 2. The drama students aren’t the only ones who have been putting in hard work for the show. Our Art 2 High School students, under the guidance of the art teacher, Nicole Seitz, have spent the past few months designing, creating and painting the play set. 

“Painting the set for the middle school play is an intense collaboration of our Art 2 high school students. It's the first time many have painted anything on that scale. From initial design sketches to final details, students learn to pitch in where needed, but also to take initiative and divide tasks. Whether adding light and shadow to trees or designing lighting or marble floors, our students know what working as a team truly looks like. I'm so proud of this group of artists”, exclaimed Mrs. Seitz. 

This has been such a fun experience for the art students. Freshman Mady Fennessy said, “Being able to work with my friends on such a big project was super fun. I got to know a lot of new people.” 

Make plans to attend this classic fairytale as our middle school students bring this Award-winning animated film to life! You’ll be captivated by the spectacular music, costumes and set design!
