Report from Legacy Christian School: Vertical Habits
Report from Betty Grit:
Vertical Habits at Legacy Christian School:
‘Lord, Please Help’ and ‘How Can I Help?’
As children entered the gym for worship, it was evident that it is their habit to enter this space quietly and reverently on Friday morning. Worship music, played by teacher Joan Stob reminded us that today this space was sacred space and our hearts were prepared for worship.
We were invited to repeat after the teacher, “This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice in it. Let us worship the Lord together.” After a prayer, we were told that the fourth graders would be using two dramas created by Friends of the Groom for the Vertical Habits program of the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship.
The story of blind Bartimeus was told in three ways – that he demanded attention from Jesus, that he only asked for Jesus’ signature, and finally, as reported in Scripture, that he brought his need to Jesus saying, “Rabbi, I want to see.”
