Spring: A celebration of New Life

By Lorene Hall

Spring is such a beautiful time of year. The flowers are in bloom, the fruit trees are beginning to bud and the butterflies are fluttering happily across the schoolyard. It is a time of new beginnings and new life. Here at Glades Christian Academy, we just finished celebrating families with our first Family Prom. The evening was truly “Enchanted.” One dad even stated it was the “best date he and his wife had taken in years.” The students celebrated life and healthy bodies during the annual “Gator Games.” They ran the mile and half mile, participated in the broomball tournaments and enjoyed bounce houses and obstacle courses. Spring is also when we stop to reflect on Easter and the meaning of a new life in Christ.

Easter is special in the hearts of Christians across the globe. I will never forget the first Easter I began to understand the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross to pay for my sin debt. I was about 7 years old and standing in the church’s Fellowship Hall when I noticed Mrs. E. passing out chocolate crosses. She asked me, “Would you like a candy cross? All you have to do is answer a few questions.”

I really wanted one of those crosses; unfortunately, I did not know the answers to her questions. “What is Easter all about?” I did not know. She leaned over and whispered in my ear, “The day we celebrate that Jesus arose from the dead.” Then I would parrot the answer back to her. She continued asking me questions and whispering answers in my ear. This was the first time I really put together that Jesus was the Son of God, who had come to die on a rugged cross to pay for not just my sins, but also the sins of the world! Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

The students at Glades Christian Academy, from Pre-School through 8th grade, have the experience of learning about “Jesus and His Word” every day. We are excited about Open Enrollment for the 2016-2017 school year. GCA is a place where children are valued and learn that Jesus is the way to a new life. Are you ready for your child to learn more about “Jesus and His Word?” Are you ready for a school that wants the best for your child? Are you looking for a school that wants to set your child up for success, not failure? Call GCA today and ask about the Step Up for Students scholarship and how your family might be eligible for Free Tuition. Every child deserves a good education; and at GCA we believe a good education has a biblical base.

GCA, a ministry of Church by the Glades, invites you to come and experience a fun and dynamic Easter service where new life in Christ is celebrated. See the back cover for dates and times.

  1. I think that everything posted made a lot of sense.
    But, what about this? what if you added a little information? I mean, I don’t want to
    tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added something that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Spring:
    A celebration of New Life – Spectator Magazine is a little boring.
    You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write article headlines to get viewers to open the links.
    You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers excited about what you’ve
    got to say. In my opinion, it could make your blog
    a little bit more interesting.

  2. Hello! I could have sworn I’ve visited this blog before
    but after going through some of the posts I realized it’s new to
    me. Anyhow, I’m certainly happy I discovered it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back often!

  3. I would like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing
    this website. I’m hoping to see the same high-grade blog posts
    from you in the future as well. In fact, your
    creative writing abilities has motivated me to get my own, personal website
    now 😉

  4. Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?

    My site goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could
    greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog by the
    way!

  5. Currently it sounds like Drupal is the best blogging platform available right now.
    (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your
    blog?

  6. Hello There. I discovered your weblog the use of msn. That is a really

  8. Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive
    a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and
    she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had
    to share it with someone!

  9. I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but good topic.
    I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more.
    Thanks for excellent info I was looking for
    this info for my mission.

  10. Its such as you learn my mind! You seem to understand a lot about this, like
    you wrote the e-book in it or something. I feel that you
    simply could do with some p.c. to power the message home a bit,
    but other than that, that is great blog. An excellent read.
    I’ll definitely be back.

  11. Thank you, I’ve recently been searching for information about
    this subject for a long time and yours is the
    greatest I’ve found out till now. However, what in regards to
    the bottom line? Are you sure concerning the source?

    web site style is perfect, the articles is truly excellent : D.

  13. Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for
    something completely unique. P.S My apologies for
    getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  14. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between user
    friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a awesome job with this.
    Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Internet
    explorer. Superb Blog!

  15. Do you have a spam issue on this website; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; many of us have
    developed some nice procedures and we are looking to trade solutions with others, please
    shoot me an email if interested.

  16. Thanks for any other informative web site. Where else could I get that kind of info written in such a perfect means?
    I have a mission that I’m just now operating on, and I have been at the look out
    for such information.

  17. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each
    time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment.

    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Cheers!

  18. I think that everything typed made a lot of sense.

    But, think on this, what if you were to create a killer
    title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website,
    however suppose you added something that makes people want more?
    I mean Spring: A celebration of New Life – Spectator Magazine is kinda
    vanilla. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s front page
    and note how they write news headlines to get
    viewers to open the links. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get readers interested
    about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little livelier.
