Lower School Convocation Theme – In the month of March, Lower School students will be reflecting on the biblical character trait of forgiveness. We will rejoice together at the forgiveness God offers us. “But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love,” Nehemiah 9:17. We will also talk about forgiving others just as in Christ, God forgave us (Ephesians 4:32).
