Hi Friends

We are still learning what it means to trust the Lord in these crazy times. And one of the ways I am learning to do that is to take things one day at a time with an eye forward - what can I do this week that will move us forward. For me, that has been looking into ways we can better provide education from a distance - now that we know it is going to be a more long term situation.

At present, we are actively investigating some options for how to improve distance learning at the elementary level. Up to now we have largely been dependent upon paper packets. We plan to continue this and are confident this is one way to keep the learning going while we are sheltering in place. But we are now looking into the possibility of providing some additional online resources for you that will make the learning process more effective for your students (and hopefully less time intensive for you). We hope this will even include the ability to do some video instruction for your children. I think it will likely take a few weeks to get things up and running, but know we are working on it.

On this note, secondary students began virtual classes this week and I think (with the exception of a few internet and zoom issues) it was a step in the right direction. And one we plan to continue to improve.

As for my daily encouragement - you can check it out here.

Lord bless you this Holy Week!
