Christmas -- Our Reason for Being

     

As it does each year around this time, The Peoples Christian Academy community gathered again for worship on December 13, 2012.  “Carols of Christmas,” presented by students and teachers, was certainly not short on entertainment value. The unpredictable, and always amusing, primary graders delighted the audience as they gustily sang “There’s A Song in the Air.” And from those tiny songsters, through the Junior School Choir, the Middle School strings and winds, to the more mature (and still maturing) voices of the Senior School Choir, Fideles, the overflow audience was treated to a program brimming with artistic quality and meaning.

        But over and above the entertainment aspect of the show, there was the unapologetic focus on the One who came to save us – the Baby in the manger, our Saviour and Lord. We are thankful that, as a private Christian school, we have the immense privilege of magnifying the Christ of Christmas both at this annual worship event and throughout the school year.  Daily, through our curriculum and teaching/learning practices, we lift up Christ “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” (Colossians 2:3
