September 2025
Are you ready for school? September is the month when most kids start school. It varies state by state, but most start in Mid-August or early September. Before school starts there is a lot that has to be done in order to be ready for it.
School supply lists come out and families line the aisles in Wal-Mart in order to get everything on the list. However, some parents may have saved some supplies from last year so that there is no need to buy new this year. This inevitably makes some kids upset. They want new crayons or a new pencil box. There is nothing like opening a new box of crayons. Each crayon sharp. Each paper cover still intact. The sharpener on the back clean with no shavings. I remember it like it was yesterday.
What about the rest of us who aren’t starting school? What do we have that is new? Well, we all are starting off a new Sunday School year and a new year of Midweek school in Humboldt. There will be new teachers, students and lessons to be learned. Maybe even new crayons (even for the adult class).
September brings a “new” feeling, an excitement for something different going on. It is a time to invite friends to come. A time to come back to Sunday School and Bible Class if you haven’t been in a while. Maybe you’ll find yourself wanting to teach a class or help with a craft. No matter what you see as your role, just know that you have one.
Christ has given us the command in Matthew 28:19-20 to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
We have this command and are excited about our opportunity to teach the good news of our Risen Savior to all we can to young and old, knowing that we are not alone. Jesus has promised to be with us always. Are we ready for school? Sure we are, with Jesus’ help.
I look forward to seeing you all,
