This Week in Senior Bible:
I hope this message finds you well. It has been a meaningful and encouraging week in our Senior Bible classes.
This past week, we began a new quarter in High School Bible with a devotional from Greg Laurie focused on the importance of finishing well. In each class, students engaged in discussion about what it means to persevere in faith, character, and commitment—especially as they approach the final stretch of the school year.
On Tuesday, students were introduced to the historic “Lorica” (or Breastplate) prayer attributed to St. Patrick. We listened to a recorded version of the prayer and spent time reflecting on its meaning, with students responding to guided prompts that encouraged personal and spiritual application.
On Wednesday and Thursday, classes explored Acts 11 and 12, focusing on the key events that helped shape the faith and mission of the early Church. Students discussed themes such as the spread of the Gospel, challenges faced by believers, and God’s work through both unity and persecution.
On Friday, each Bible class began preparing for the upcoming season of Holy Week by walking through the Stations of the Cross. This time was set aside for reflection, helping students consider the significance of Christ’s journey to the cross and its meaning for their own lives.

Moving forward, we will keep pushing through the Book of Acts and moving toward the Book of Romans to finish out the year.
The students were given their first group project of the year with some basic guidelines, we will focus more on that when we return from Senior Trip.
In His Hands,
