Christian Education Day

Christian Education Day

Wednesday, 23 March 2011 16:07

Eastern Christian will celebrate Christian Education on Sunday, May 1. This year's theme is Building on the Rock. "Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who builds his house on a rock" Matthew 7:24

As generations of students, alumni, parents and grandparents have found, an Eastern Christian education gives students a deeper understanding of Matthew's words and guides us how to train our children to live, what values to impart and how to nurture their faith. The choice of who will assist us in this task is more important today than ever before.

God, by His grace, has preserved the heritage of Christian education at Eastern Christian so that we indeed can lay claim to the fact that our foundation was built on a rock. Not the rocks that are abundant in North Jersey but on the Rock, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Christian Education Day is a day to celebrate testimonials about the benefits of a Christian education and to encourage all of us to renew our financial commitment to support our local Christian School on behalf of our own children and grandchildren as well as our neighbors' children. Please join with us to celebrate 118 years of Christian education. Please respond generously when you are asked for your support on Christian Education Day and join with the psalmist in exclaiming that "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge." (Psalm 18:2a)
