CHAPEL CHAT:

This week in Chapel, we continued our study of the Ten Commandments by focusing on the Fourth Commandment.  Read: Exodus 20:8-11 and discuss these questions as a family.

  • Why did God give us the Sabbath?

  • What day is the Sabbath, and how does it connect to God’s creation?

  • Why does God command us to “Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy”?

  • What should Christians focus on during the Sabbath?

  • Who does the Sabbath point us to, and where is our true rest found?

Spend some time praying that God would allow us to trust and rest in Jesus, and to obey the law to rest on the Sabbath.

**FPDS Chapel Schedule / All offerings for this 9 weeks will go to Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).  Parents are always welcome.

OLSAT TESTING **(2nd & 5th only):

March 4-5

The OLSAT is an assessment that measures various reasoning skills with different types of verbal, nonverbal, figural, and quantitative reasoning questions.  It is not measuring academic achievement but more the cognitive abilities of our students. Parents of students in these two grades, please make sure your child is well rested, on time, and has a good breakfast these two days.
