RoadRunner Review: Week of Prayer
ECA Students loved helping out with song service!
Principal’s Note
I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to put into words how amazing our Week of Prayer was this week with Fernando Chavez, community coordinator for the Oregon Conference of SDAs.
I think I will just leave you with pictures of our amazing week and lyrics to our theme song this week:
"Rise Up And Shine"
(Chorus)
We can all, we can all rise up and shine
'Cause You paid it all, paid it all a thousand times
We are all, we are all living our best life
'Cause You paid it all, paid it all a thousand times
You're never ever, ever gonna love me less
Even if I, even if I make a mess
Your love for me is evergreen, It will not change
I never ever, ever have to run away
Even if I, even if I make mistakes
You hold me close, You whisper hope Your love won't fade
CHORUS
Forever ever, ever You will show me grace
Even if I, even if I fall on my face
You pick me up out of the mud
And wash me clean
Forever ever, ever I will sing Your praise
Even on the, even on the darkest days
The greatest light is glowing bright On Calvary
CHORUS
'Cause you paid it all, paid it all a thousand times.
The ECA Community was so blessed to have Fernando Chavez lead out in Week of Prayer and share with our students about the life of David.
The week ended with an Agape Feast where we were reminded that we are all family and that we have each other's backs.
MEMORY VERSE FOR WEEK OF PRAYER

MARKETING/BRANDING
We have some changes coming in the near future in regards to our website, logo, and branding. We will have a photographer on campus on Monday and Tuesday taking photos. We will be mindful of families that have requested photos not be shared online and otherwise.
NATIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH
We have the opportunity this month to learn more about the contributions and history of Indigenous/Native communities. As we approach Thanksgiving, it is interesting to note that in some Native communities Thanksgiving is honored as "A National Day of Mourning" in which they honor their ancestors that were killed as a result of colonial expansion.
How do we reconcile the reality of these two views of this day? This article provides an interesting perspective.
