Thank you, Builders, for the many ways you support Greenhouse.

During April, we invite you to pray especially for those involved in the admissions process for next year at Greenhouse. We pray that God will draw those students and families to Greenhouse who will be best served and best contribute to the life of this learning community. We pray especially for additional 1st and 2nd graders to begin co-schooling. We pray for strong attendance at the final Open House on April 23, and that the presenters will accurately and winsomely represent Greenhouse. We pray that the admissions interviews will help the families and staff to discern whether Greenhouse is the best option for each household. We pray that the Lord will weave together the student body for each core day just as He desires for His purposes.

Recall how the apostle Peter says that believers are fitted together as living stones within the temple of God as we think about the community being formed at Greenhouse. Peter goes on to say…

1 Peter 2:9-10 (NIV)

You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Ponder the position we have in Christ. In what ways do you declare His praises? How has He pulled you out of darkness into His wonderful light? Prayerfully consider what places you within the people of God. Have you sought connections which are too shallow, that deny our common root in Christ Himself? Relish His abundant mercy.
