                          OUR LADY ACADEMY MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS

Tuesday, September 13, 2022

 

Good Morning OLA!   Today is Tuesday, September 13, 2022. 

 

Please stand for our morning prayer as we remember that we are in the presence of God.  

 

Let us offer our special intentions for those in need of our prayers.  

 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

1 Peter 3:8  Live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.

Thoughts on today's verse:  Unity and harmony are no accident! They happen because of intention and submission. But more than just states of being, they are commanded by God.

Father, we confess that we have let our own over-sensitive self be wounded, and have reacted with pettiness when our brothers and sisters in Christ have not treated us as we felt we deserved. We know Jesus was treated so rudely and shamefully by those he created, so we know we shouldn't be surprised. But Father, please help us to know when to challenge those who wound us with a loving confrontation and when to just ignore the barb and find a way to minister to them because of some deeper wound in their life. Father, let us be an instrument of your peace, harmony, and unity. Through Jesus we pray.

 

Our Father, Who art in heaven Hallowed be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Please remain standing for the Pledge:

I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

 

IMPORTANT MESSAGES

On Wednesday, Mrs. Rogers will have a meeting for anyone in the 7th or 8th grade who would like to be a member of the Lego Robotics League. A sign-up sheet will be on her door.

 

For the pep rally on Friday, if you plan to wear shorts or a skirt, it must be to the top of the knee.  Tops should be modest, no cleavage or mid drifts showing, shoes should have backs and no slippers.  If you have an actual animal costume, it must be worn all day so make sure it is comfortable and you can sit in a desk and complete your work. If you have a face mask, you will need to remove it for each class.  Some of you have said you have a blow up costume, so you will need to wait to put costume on after 8th period.  If you would like to do face paint, YOU MUST WAIT TO PAINT YOUR FACE AT LUNCH on Friday.  For those that choose not to participate need to be in their full uniform.   Please do not break the rules or we will not be able to dress up for future pep rallies.
