The By Our Love Project is an annual school-wide, cross-curricular project based on John 13:35; which reminds us that we will be recognized as Christ-followers by our love for others by noticing a need and helping to authentically address that need in a meaningful way. This project allows students to put their faith into action by loving others.
2023-2024 By Our Love Project
What is the need?
The 23/24 “By Our Love” project allows students to love and meet the needs of the elderly through the lens of our year’s Chapel theme “Jesus Said.” In Matthew 25, Jesus said what we do for the least of these we do for Him.
How can we help?
Students use their talents and skills to encourage the elderly in our community by creatively presenting the words of Jesus in performance, art, prayer and conversations to share encouragement and bless the generations.
Final Project Summary
Students packed and prayed over blessing boxes for “shut-ins” and sent them around the country.
We hosted some special grandparents in our classrooms to talk about their lives, their childhood and how they grew in their faith.
Clear Creek Christian Church Seniors were treated to an ice-cream social by our 5th and 6th grade students where they “interviewed” each other and enjoyed the afternoon together.
Kindergarten students visited the Bell Trace skilled nursing facility and performed a song. While there, they handed out cards to residents and delivered a quilt they had created for them to hang on the wall.
Multiple classrooms decorated flower pots and planted 200 marigolds. Additionally, one classroom learned how to sew Prayer Quilt Squares. All were delivered to the apartments at Bell Trace assisted living where students went door to door and sang to, spoke with, and prayed alongside the residents.
