Principal’s Paragraph
As we listened to Costi Hinn provide his powerful message from Philippians 2 this morning, my heart was filled with gratitude and unwavering thankfulness for the opportunity to serve here at Gilbert Christian High School. Verse four and five tells us, “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus” Our staff and students embody Paul’s words everyday! I see the blessings our student groups bestow upon each other at events and how they converse in a Christ-like manner. As we end our Spiritual Emphasis Week and launch into the Christmas season, I pray our partnership continues to strengthen and our actions and efforts in and for this amazing campus continue to bring glory to the Lord.
