New Breakaway Chapels

On Thursday, September 26, Calvary Christian Middle School and High School had their first Breakaway Chapel. During these chapels boys and girls split up, each doing a Bible study geared towards their specific gender. There are seven of these chapels planned, one each month.

The girls met in the chapel with Mrs. Saum. We talked about how we are each beautiful not because of how we look or what we wear, but because we are made in the image of God. Our worth is determined by the fact that God loves us and cares for us. We are all precious in God’s eyes.

That being said, we should treat each other as having worth and being a God-created being. We should encourage and edify each other, not tear each other down. If we determine our own worth by judging others, we will never be satisfied. The same applies with putting our self-esteem in our looks or what others think of us. There will always be one person that seems prettier or skinnier or who wears cuter clothes. But if we work to be who God intended us to be, then we show the true beauty of His creation.

All of the girls broke into groups after the main discussion. Mrs. Saum asked several Junior and Senior girls to lead these groups. We will be talking about the main discussion and how we can apply the lesson to our lives. We will also share prayer requests and discuss some struggles that we may be going through. Today, since it was the first of these chapels, we spent a few minutes learning names and getting to know each other. We took prayer requests and took turns praying for them, for our school day and for the success of the new Breakaway Chapels.
