As our Lowell kids enter school Tuesday, I am excited for new book selections in their libraries. Those local are likely aware of materials in our high school library that have made many uncomfortable. On Main Street it was not uncommon for visitors to bring this topic up. My answer was typically to let them know of the good that is happening in our schools, and to encourage them to speak life into their children to guide their choices. I spoke often of the good I saw happening around me-from adults and children alike-daily in our schools. The end of the school year aligned with the closure of our physical space, and donating some of our books was only natural.
Over a dozen books were happily accepted and on shelves in no time. A recent news clip featured one of the titles on display, a kind note was sent our way from the librarian, and a student snapped a photo of one of these books because he was so excited. To equip our community to share goodness, speak life into our children, and provide ways for them to live out their faith has been the goal. This goal remains.
We have another literary donation in the works, and look forward to these excellent reads making their way to the shelves if accepted. Separate from us, lots of light is shining this school year. LifeWise Academy is now in our district. Athletes in Action will once agan host morning huddles at the high school. Students are boldly sharing their faith in many creative ways and it makes a difference.
Pray for a year of kindness, growth, protection, encouragement, courage, faithfulness, and love to flood our hallways. Also, take a listen to Wishing Tree by LHS student Gabe Fuss: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=17fUgt9LGRk&si=Y_GmoMdBNpcUudxM
