Singing and ringing, loud and clear
When elementary students gather again this week, there will be two bells in the house. Pastor Jon Bell will continue his faithful opening of the day, leading Lake Pointe's youngest pupils in God's Word and song. Grateful!
And there will also be another type of bell, one that likely graced a World War II U.S. Navy ship. Over the break, a gentleman from the northeast with ties to the Navy Seals heard about Lake Pointe's posting for "nautical" items to help put Mariner touches on the new gym and campus.
He donated the heavy artifact, hoping that it can be rung at sporting events and special occasions, to build traditions and to inspire students to the courage and excellence under which the bell first rang.
The antique will be cleaned and fitted with mounting hardware before being shipped to the campus. It will be in place for the coming new year. Grateful!
