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
A Prayer for Faithful Dependence
By Pete Briscoe
“For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” - Isaiah 41:13
Jesus doesn’t work harder for those who try harder. So, if you’ve been busy muscling up some stellar faith, hoping someday you’d have just enough to have just a little more Jesus, you can stop. Jesus isn’t concerned about the quantity or quality of your faith. He just desires to be the object of your faith.
When we depend upon someone other than Jesus, we are going to be disappointed. Our society offers a buffet of choices: health and wellness, dead people, spouses, careers, IRAs, and even pastors. All of them are imperfect and totally unqualified to become the object of your faith.
How about today’s gurus? They’re simply preaching secular legalism – teaching a different list of rules, but rules all the same. Rules can’t hold you up.
I remember my elementary science teacher explaining the human skeleton. If all went well, I’d never see my own bones; but without them, I’d be nothing more than a blob of flesh and muscle on pavement. Same goes with faith. People are always looking for a visible object of faith. Yet, it’s the ascended Christ and the invisible but indwelling Spirit who hold us up in this faith journey.
In fact, Scripture teaches that faith is produced by God’s Spirit in us. We have no control over its volume and quantity in our lives. But we do get to choose whom we trust.
What are you facing today? In whom or what will you put your faith?
Almighty God, renew our hearts so that we may give your words to others. Hold us up in faith and lead us in righteousness. Father, as we begin each day, remind us to place our full dependence on you. You are the author of all things, and through you we are blessed. Amen.
