Fact: More than 300 million people, nearly half of the people living in Africa, do not have access to clean, safe water. While locating clean water is not something that consumes our thoughts in Southern California, for many people living in Africa, their daily schedule revolves around locating and transporting clean, safe drinking water for their families.
Walk4Water is an organization that has been successfully counteracting the major issues of dehydration, disease, and even death due to unsafe drinking water. MCS is proud to join Walk4Water each year by sending a team of students and families to join in the walk through Miles Square Park and raising money to build wells, creating access to clean drinking water in Africa.
All MCS families are invited to register and attend the Walk4Water event on
Saturday, 10/12, beginning at 8:00 am
. For more details, please click this link:

We hope to see you there!

Our chapels this week continued the focus on kindness as a way to “Reflect the Son.” It is important as a Christian to develop our relationship with the Lord inside to be able to reflect the right kind of things out to people. Several fourth graders helped us understand the concept behind the verse, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.” Our worship band taught us a new song to go with this verse.
Each chapel watched a video selected for their age group to help them develop their kindness muscle. Grades 3-5 saw everyday situations where “a giver” saw a kindness opportunity, and impacted the life of “a recipient.” The TK-2
nd
graders saw a video of a fishing outing with an exchange between a puppy and a bird. One animal learned not to jump to conclusions, and the other demonstrated repaying a kindness. All ages of students were able to go a bit deeper with the concepts with their teachers back in the classrooms.

Shalimar Connection Club - Upcoming Shalimar Visit
|
|
All middle school students are invited to join our first Shalimar visit of the year! This year we are continuing our partnership with Think Together, a non-profit organization that runs The Shalimar Learning Center. We will have 6 opportunities to visit the Shalimar community, each visit allowing our students to run a "Fun Friday" program for the kids who attend the Learning Center. Our students will get to plan ice breaker games, lead a devotional, and coordinate an activity for the 1st-3rd grade students. After the program, we will get to have about 45 minutes of free play at the park with the children from the neighborhood. The Shalimar Connection Club will meet the two Thursdays preceding the Shalimar visit days to plan the games, devotionals, and activities. These visits are powerful moments of leadership opportunities and perspective shaping for our students, and we hope that all students are able to attend at least once this year!
Our first visit will be October 11th.
All students interested in being a part of this team should return the Shalimar Permission Slip (attached) and attend the next club meeting next Thursday, 10/10/19, at lunch. For our Shalimar visits we utilize parent drivers to transport the students to and from Shalimar. Please indicate whether or not you are able to drive on the form.

We were honored to welcome Stevy York, Rockharbor Youth Pastor, in as our Chapel speaker this week! Stevy shared a message that directly related to this year’s theme of Reflect The Son. Using the analogy of the sun, he asked the question, “How do you know that someone has been spending time in the sun?” The answer…”They have a tan!” He shared what the results are when we spend time with the Son, and how that allows us to reflect who the Son is to others. Please ask your middle school student what they took away from this Chapel, as Stevy imparted quite a bit of applicable wisdom to our students!
