Church Fellowship Builds Roots
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6,7
Your faculty and staff have already completed a week of the new school year with last week's orientation activities. The overall goal of the week is to be fully ready for your students, and that includes administrative details (schedules, textbooks, technology) and professional development (workshops on pedagogy, classroom management, ADHD and executive functioning, and spiritual growth). In our discussion about being rooted in Christ, we discussed this statement: Let the roots of your life sink deeply into the person and work of Jesus Christ. Spend personal time daily with the Lord — in scripture, prayer, meditation, and reflection. Commit to consistent corporate worship and involvement with your local church.
Notice the personal and the corporate sides of that principle: being rooted in Christ has an important personal element, but growth in Christ is not a lone ranger project. Scripture commands us not to neglect assembling together (Hebrews 10:25). As the body of Christ, we all have differing gifts and talents, but the Lord uses all of us to build each other up (I Corinthians 12). As you begin this new school year — parents and students — be sure to include consistent worship and involvement with your church, so you can be "strengthened in the faith as you were taught."
