July Paw Pride Newsletter - Cedar Park Christian Schools

PAW PRIDE
A NEW BEGINNING
With the 4th of July just around the corner, it is our hope the
following acronym for the word FREEDOM will assist you as
you start this new school year.
F: Follow Him forward
Romans 15:5 (NIV)–We are to follow Christ.
As we pursue Him and seek to imitate His
ways, we move forward in our process of
change.
R: Repent readily
Jeremiah 18:9 (MSG)–When we repent,
God will start over with us. A New Beginning…exactly what we are seeking. When
we admit and repent of our shortcomings,
and sinfulness, God is faithful to forgive and
make us white like snow. Clean, fresh, new.
E: Earnestly Pray
Ephesians 6:18 (NLT) Prayers are incredibly
powerful. As we earnestly pray, we will find
ourselves empowered by the One true
Power Source.
E: Enjoy the journey

1 Samuel 2:1 (NLT)
As we anticipate the start of the new school
year, receiving answers from God along the
way, we will have a number of reasons to
rejoice. Many times we are so focused on
the destination; we forget to enjoy God’s
journey. He has planned a perfect path just
for you.
D: Devour His Word
Hebrews 4:12 (NIV) God’s Word is the
ultimate food for our thoughts, nourishment
for our souls, and the map we must follow.
We need to dive into God’s truth and devour
His words like the sustaining substance they
were created to be.

EMAILS A WAY OF LIFE HERE AT CPCS
LYNNWOOD
Please get in the habit of checking your emails. We
send out many reminders and much information you
won’t want to miss! Friday’s PAW PEEK email lets
you know what is coming for the following week.
O: Open your heart and mind to His truth
Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) In order to grasp God’s
truth, we need to pray for an open heart,
and an open mind, to better receive the
truth, know the truth, and obey the truth
when we hear it. Be prepared to hear the
Lord speak. He will.
M: Make new friends and move mountains
Colossians 3:12-13 (KJV) As we walk in
godly love for one another, by forgiving,
encouraging, and helping, we will find the
strength to do what one person alone could
never, ever accomplish. We need the power
of the Spirit, and the power of each other.
Together, we can move mountains! We
were never met to “go it” alone. Jesus had
12 disciples. He knew the value of loving
and supporting relationships. Let us learn
from His example.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
The Early Childhood Department at Lynnwood offers
a preschool setting to 2½-year-olds who are usually
still working on potty training. We will help with
that! So tell your friends, who may think they have
to wait to enroll in our wonderful school! If you
know someone who is planning on enrolling in our
Pre-Kindergarten classroom, please let them know
that the class is filling fast and paperwork needs to
come in now.

CUB COMMENTARY
July! What a fun month this is! Backyard BBQ’s, long days, warm temperatures and, of course, fireworks celebrating our country’s freedom from
British rule!
As Christians, we think of freedom
in Christ, freedom from hopelessness and despair, and finally, freedom from sin’s eternal consequences—death.
FREEDOM! Many think of freedom as
it is fought on the battlefield—
soldiers fighting to protect freedom;
taking freedom away from others, or
restoring it to those who have lost it.
In the USA we think of freedoms such
as freedom of speech, freedom of
religion or freedom of the press.
Jesus tells us in John 8:31-32 that
we will know the truth, and the
truth will set us free. Jesus came
to set us free. We could not free
ourselves. It has to be Jesus. In
Him we are set free and made new
if we abide in His Word (John
8:31). We are no longer slaves to
sin and death—we are free!
As you celebrate America’s freedom on the 4th of July, think of
your own freedom in Christ, and do
a little celebrating about that, too!

STAMPS
Most families already purchase
General Mills products at some
time or other. All we ask is that
you save the BOXTOPS FOR
EDUCATION cutout on the package and send them in with your
student. BOXTOPS ARE worth
10¢ each and they quickly add
up to a very easy cash amount
for our school. With the growing number of participants on
the BOXTOPS list, our numbers
should be increasing by leaps
and bounds!!
Sign up for the Fred Meyer Community Rewards program by
linking your Fred Meyer Rewards
Card to CPCS-Lynnwood at
www.fredmeyer.com/
communityrewards. You can
search for us by our name or by
our non-profit number
(NPO#83047). Then, every time
you shop and use your Rewards
Card, you are helping our school
earn a donation! You still earn
your Rewards Points, Fuel
Points, and Rebates, just as you
do today.
When we shop at your favorite
Family Christian Bookstore be
sure to ask for the library
stamps. The library stamps are
based on the value of your total
purchase. This is a great, no cost
way to acquire good Christian
books for our library. Don’t
forget to take SCRIP with you!
 SCRIP
Do your shopping with SCRIP
and you will personally receive
part of the percentage profit
towards tuition credit. SCRIP
has varying percentages of
profit but whatever it is, you
can use it towards your families’
tuition. SCRIP is also available
for your grocery shopping so
why not earn tuition credit every time you go grocery shopping? During the school year,
we have Starbucks, Fred Meyer/
QFC, Safeway and Albertsons
SCRIP available during office
hours. More information regarding our SCRIP program will
be coming to you once school
starts.
