3 Reasons Why Pass It On Is One of the Best Things about GCS
October 14, 2021
Pass It On is one of the best things about our school, and here are three reasons why:
1. Getting Outside of Ourselves.
So many good things happen in school, but most of those things happen within our four walls. The opportunity that we have to get out together and put our faith into action by serving our community helps redirect our focus from ourselves and toward others.
2. Leaving It Better Than We Found It
I'm a firm believer that we need to leave things better than when we found them. Whether that's a room, a person, the environment, or the community ... let's be sure that the people and the world around us are better for having been in contact with us. God loves people, God loves His world, and one of the primary ways that God expresses that love is through His people. Pass It On is about expressing God's love through our lives in such a way that the people and places that we impact are better than before we came on the scene.
3. Cultivating Deeper Relationships
I love teaching students, but working alongside them is even better. There's something about working and serving together that builds bonds, creates memories, and deepens relationships in a special way. Pass It On is one of the best things about our school because working together to serve the community cultivates a layer of relationship with the students and each other that the classroom alone can't cultivate. Take advantage of that.
What we do throughout a normal school day is special at GCS for all kinds of reasons, and our worldview emphasis is a key part of that. Pass It On is one of the best things about our school because that worldview goes into action in God's world and in the community in which He's placed us. (Make that FOUR reasons!)
Work coram Deo: before the face of God, under the authority of God, and to the glory of God!
