Decisions, decisions!

Time has flown! We are only months away from completing our secondary educations! During the online meeting today, two ideas for our class motto were given. Give them a thought and a prayer, and come to the next meeting prepared to share. They both relate to our class hymn "In Christ Alone" which was decided at the meeting two weeks ago. 

"Hold Nothing Back"

"Further Up and Further In"

If you have an earth-shaking idea, please bring that with you to the next meeting as well. 

No matter what, just be at the meeting! Since we'll begin practicing, this is going to be a pretty important meeting. 

Class Song

Last night, we came to a conclusion. Our class verse is... drumroll please... 

Philippines 3:14!

"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

We also discussed options for our class hymns, here's the ideas we came up with.

Abide with Me

All the Way

Day by Day 

Faith is the Victory

How Great Thou Art

I Need Thee Every Hour

May the Mind of Christ

Also, be thinking to the end of what our motto should be. I think it'd be best if it carried a theme of pressing toward the mark or something like that. 

I'm thrilled to see that we're progressing! 

Class Verse, Hymn, and Motto

It's all coming together! At the meeting on the 13th the few of us narrow our options for verses down to four. 

Isaiah 40:31
Psalm 48:14  
Joshua 1:9 
Philippians 3:14

Think and pray about your decision because we will be basing our motto and hymn off of our verse. 

Let's try to keep opinions in the comment section, so I don't have to go elsewhere to retrieve votes or opinions.

TEACH Ski Day!!

Hey everyone, there will be an official email going out about this but I wanted to let everyone on the blog know that my Dad was able to set up a TEACH Ski Day at Trollhaugen. So for everyone like me who was disappointed that Giants Ridge didn't work out, there is still hope! And, for those of you that don't know how a ski day works, TEACH makes reservations as a school group which means we get a special rate. And that includes the ski rentals, so you don't have to worry if you don't own downhill skis. It should be a blast!! So I hope to see you all there! Make sure you read the details below.

Grad Class Meeting Times

We have now begun our biweekly meetings!

We will be tentatively meeting on Thursdays every other week at University of Northwestern - St. Paul in the Youderian Lounge at 7 PM. (January 30th being our second meeting). These meetings are semi-mandatory because we will be planning our ceremony and baccalaureate and distributing jobs for families.

For right now, the meetings will continue until our actual ceremony.

If you have any questions, let me or Mr. Newhouse know. If you're wondering how to find the Youderian Lounge, you can call me at (651)368-0769. If you're going to get there early, let me know because I'm going to be there for classes anyway.
