Announcements:
This Friday: Katie
Talcott is speaking on memorizing scripture at 10:30. You won’t want to miss it!
·
We want to bathe our PSP in prayer. Psalm 127:1
says, “Unless the Lord builds the house (or the PSP), they labor in vain
who build it.”
·
Pick a day during the week to be praying for PSP
and sign up for that day on the poster board in mom’s time. Write that day on the back of your “pray
without ceasing” bookmark. Bookmarks
will be on the table again this week. Commit to praying this year for the PSP,
for our church leadership and the decisions they make for our group, for
homeschooling, and for each other.
·
Everyone got a “thankful journal” this week.
Start it on Monday. Every day, try to write down five things you are thankful
for without repeating. ( If you did not get a journal last week, we have a few
more. If you are a TMK mom who would
like to follow along in our thankful journey, there are some extra journals )
·
Start your meditation and memorization of Psalm
145 this week.
o
We are memorizing verse one this week. We are memorizing in the NASB version so we
can say it together. A hand out with
that version is in your mailbox.
o
Psalm 145 is called the Psalm of praise and is
said to be David’s final Psalm. The Jewish people would say it three times a
day. It is acrostic, going through the Hebrew alphabet.
o
In your mailbox, there was an outline of Psalm
145 by a Master’s Seminary professor. This is to help you as you meditate on it
this week.
o
There was also a handout on praying from Psalm
145. This is just to give you ideas and suggestions for prayer.
o
There was also a handout on praying with the
ACTS method. This is how we will be
praying in mom’s time: Reading scripture
and praying it back to God in adoration, confession, thanksgiving and
supplication. Please familiarize
yourself with this, if you are not already familiar with it.
o
Remember to place all the handouts in your PSP
binder, so that you may refer back to them.
o
Julie S. e-mailed everyone Psalm 145:1 to
print out on a 3X5 card. You can post the verse somewhere visible this week, so
that you can work on memorizing it.
·
Library card applications were on the
table.
o
Students will not be able to check out books
unless you sign the form.
o
Starting next week, everyone will be able to
check out two books at a time.
o
Books will be due back after two weeks.
o
There will be late fees for overdue books. Encourage your students to be responsible for
their library materials. If they do
incur fees, consider having them earn the money.
o
The library will be available from 12:30 to
1:00.
o
Hopefully, library cards will be ready next
week.
·
Picture day is next week!
o
Remember
to arrive early (8:15) for the group picture on Friday. We will be meeting
by the fountain.
o
Do not drop
nursery children off first.
o
You need one envelope for every person ordering
pictures. For example, if you are ordering pictures for two children and a
teacher ID, you will need three envelopes.
o
Teacher and students ID’s are $5.
o
There is a schedule for the day on the picture
day flyer.
§
After the group picture, TMK moms along with 5th-12th
grade students and coordinators will be photographed.
§
At 9:30, all other moms and teachers will be
photographed.
§
The moms’ time speaker is scheduled for 10:30. If you are still in line to get your picture
taken around this time, you should head back to the moms’ room for our speaker.
You will be able to get your picture taken when the speaker is done.
o
Please do
not wear “Choosing Gratitude”
t-shirts. Wear regular PSP uniforms.
·
Students may not bring cell phones to PSP. Students may not have cell phones or other
electronics on their person. Have them leave their cell phones with you.
This week is your last chance to sign up for the
Children’s Hunger Fund and Legoland field trips.
o
You will need to sign up by 12:30 this week
(September 14,) as Susan will be purchasing the tickets that afternoon.
o
The new Legoland student price is $6. If you
already paid, you will receive a reimbursmant when you receive the rest of your
reimbursement for adjusted expenses.
o
Susan will be handing out tickets for Legoland
at PSP, so we will not be entering the park as a group.
o
You can arrive any time you like, but the park
does close at 5:00.
·
The business class is in the process of choosing
a name for their student store.
o
Make sure you are checking out their table each
week to see what new things they are selling.
·
In Grace Grill, junior high students may go
through the adult line, as long as they are responsible with this
privilege.
o
If they go through the adult line, however, they
cannot purchase what is on the hot lunch menu. The hot lunches need to be
ordered in the morning, so they will need to do so at that time.
o
They may get one refill on drinks.
·
If you see trash around, pick it up. Remind your
children to be picking up as well.
·
Each month, we will have a prayer partner at our
table. Half sheets will be in your
mailboxes, so you can write down your prayer need. Focus on how you would like
to grow this year. We will each be praying for one person’s need each month.
