How much of a difference can we really make?

A world of difference! Since I have been at SCS I have been so honored to watch our kids go out and make a marked difference in their community. My favorite part of the entire year is to sit at graduation and listen to the number of hours of Christian service our students put in over their high school careers. Even better than that is the number continues to rise every year! This year will be no exception in part because of this week. Our baseball, softball, and track teams have all committed to use their hands to worship God this week through service. They will be all over the Metroplex spreading love and help to people that need it most. They will tackle a Habitat house, spend time talking to and getting to know over 400 senior citizens, will lend a hand at the largest food bank in Texas, will lend aide to battered women, and spend time working at a local hospital - just to name a few of their contributions. There is another group that will taking part in the same activities - our special missions group. These students had opportunities to travel the world through the many Minimester offerings and chose to stay in Fort Worth because they felt called to help here at home. I applaud these students as well as the others for making this commitment to their faith. Check back here as I will update this blog with photos and reactions from the students as they give back to our community. Thank you! - Mr. Richards
