Midland 7th & 8th graders have taken the lead this week in presenting the Week of Prayer chapels to students in grades K-6. Through songs and skits, their lessons have been drawn from the Fruits of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23. "The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!" Thank you students and Mr. Bayer for teaching and modeling these character traits to those around you!

The Core Value that we are focusing on this month is Compassion. One of the best ways to show compassion is to remember that we should treat other people the way we want to be treated. Jesus talked about this in Matthew 7:12. Midland students are practicing compassion by serving in the community each week.

Mrs. Frishman reports -- In Midland's 3rd and 4th grade class we have been learning about living and nonliving things. We focused on how things grow and develop, specifically butterflies. We enjoyed watching the life cycle of four caterpillars. Our caterpillars grew in size and then built their chrysalises. After about one week in the pupa stage, we watched them emerge into beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. When we released them, several students even had the chance to hold a few of the butterflies. Our butterflies were a great example of the incredible living things God created for us to enjoy.
