This week, Debbie Fairbanks, Director of Admissions, spoke to the lower school students at our weekly chapel program. Mrs. Fairbanks shared that we all have a light, and we all have fears and worries. She used a candle as an example for her light. Once the fears (a piece of paper with her fears written on it) crept in, her light started to flicker. She waved the paper near the flame to demonstrate how our lights can waiver when facing tough situations or thoughts. Then, she prayed. A clear plastic baggie was used to symbolize our prayers. The baggie was placed in front of the flame and then fanned again with the fears. However, this time the flame did not go out or flicker!
The students then shared some of their fears. Mrs. Fairbanks wrote those on a paper and fanned the flame. She prayed for those fears and again demonstrated how our prayer is a shield against our fears.
We then sang "this little light of mine". The children enjoyed singing the words and dancing!
