Operation
Christmas Child
We are pleased to announce that we were able to collect over
90 Christmas Child boxes! They were dedicated in chapel today,
and sent to the local distribution center in Lakeville. We
would like to thank Ms. Carver for helping to coordinate this
project. Packing and sorting volunteers this year included:
Ms. Carver, Mrs. O’Regan, Mrs. Myette, Mrs. Davis, Mrs.
Hodges, Mrs. Lussier, Mrs. Kasica (with Katerina – 1),
Mrs. Dorothy Silva and her friend Barbara Cogswell, Jenay
Israel (6), and Ms. Carver. Some of our 7th graders helped
wrap boxes as well.
As part of the project, we were asked to supply $5.00 for
each box packed. If you would like to help with this part
of the project, please send in $5.00, or a portion thereof,
by Friday, November 18. Thank you!

Defining Moments
Dear Parents and Guardians,
A few weeks ago,
we had a defining moment at BCS. As principal, I have the
opportunity to see growth in students over several years.
I have also seen growth in the student body. This year, we
have experienced what I call “defining moments”
of spiritual growth as a school.
Two weeks ago, Jared Nevens came to our chapel service. As
you recall, Jared is serving with the US Army in Iraq. He
was home for a two-week leave, and visited us during our chapel
time. Jared shared about his life in Iraq, the food, his vehicle,
his free time, etc. Due to security issues, he cannot tell
us exactly what he is doing. When we asked him how we could
pray for him, Jared asked us to pray for his safety, his courage,
and that he would grow spiritually while on his tour of duty.
Sensing that both Jared and our students needed a visual reminder
of his visit, I asked Jared to stand in the middle of the
sanctuary and for the students to surround him. We all crowded
together, circling Jared with over 100 students and staff.
We asked the students to pray for Jared – and they did!
Older students, younger students, boys, girls – prayers
from their hearts. It was quiet, with about 20 students offering
prayer for Jared, for his safety, his spiritual growth, his
work, and his safe return. It was a “defining moment”
for all of us, staff and students alike.
It is when we see these moments that we sense growth, and
sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s work here at Brockton
Christian School. It is one of the reasons why I love being
a part of the ministry here.
I’d love to hear about your child’s defining moments
here at BCS. Please share them with us!
Karen
I. Hodges, Principal
