LION KING IS COMING-- ARE YOU READY?  Auditions for the MS production of Lion King will happen in Mid-December.  The directors will be hosting a clinic for movement (dance and puppets!) for the show.  There will be two offerings of this fun and preparatory class.  They will be Saturday Dec 2 and Saturday 16 from 1-6p.  The cost is $50.  Not interested in auditioning but still want to learn about these things?  That is totally OK.  You may only sign up for one of the two session, as each will cap at 30 students. (Please note - partaking in the event does NOT guarantee casting in The Lion King Jr., nor does not enrolling hurt your chances. Directors also reserve the right to cancel with full refund if not enough people enroll. Students involved with Ozma cannot sign up for the first weekend, as they should be all about Ozma.)  Please email Mr. Elliott or Mrs. Wheat for more details.  Signups should occur through CRUSADER CONNECT to put the charge on your account.

DEVOTIONAL
Don’t Waste Your Life in Regret
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:23
Are you living with regret over the time you’ve wasted, the opportunities you’ve squandered, the sins you’ve committed, and the relationships you’ve destroyed? Regret is a waste of time, unless it teaches you wisdom and fuels your resolve to do better next time. And as long as you’re breathing, there will be a ‘next time’. The Bible describes God this way: ‘Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.’ So how should you handle regret? By doing three things: 1) Recall. Stop and consider the actions, thoughts, and emotions that drove you to do what you did. Take an honest inventory of your mistakes. Own them! There’s no solution in excuses. When Adam was confronted with his sin, he hid in the bushes. When David was confronted with his, he said, ‘I’m guilty before God.’ Follow David’s example. 2) Repent. The Bible says, ‘Godly sorrow worked repentance’ (2 Corinthians 7:10). When you’re caught in a cycle of repeated sin, a glib ‘Now I lay me down to sleep’ kind of prayer won’t help you. Sin hurts God, hurts you, and hurts others. The idea behind repentance is to get you to where you loathe sin and decide to renounce and forsake it. 3) Refocus. One of the Bible’s central themes is ‘resurrection’. That means you can rise again. God said in His Word, ‘Forget ... what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new’ (Isaiah 43:17-18). It’s a new day with a new opportunity to get your life together and move on to greater things. Don’t waste it looking back in regret!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, forgive me for my mistakes, help me learn from them and refocus on what You have for me going forward. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
