Pastor Rod’s Rules for Church Family Communion Sunday:

Rule #1: It’s fellowship hour

Rule #2: Feel free to get up and get some juice or snack anytime during the service.

Rule #3: You may remain seated throughout the service if you wish.

Rule #4: Paraticipation is strongly encouraged but not mandatory.

Rule #5: It is OK to have fun in Church.  You can have fun and still feel the awesome presence of God.

Students from the St Croix Math and Environmental Science Academy visited our church last week to learn about Wind energy and turbine technology. Led by Carl Joseph from the VI Energy Office (pictured below), the students learned the science of how turbines capture and convert wind to electrical energy to power the St Croix grid.

“Who knows, maybe you have come to this royal position f
or just such a time as this.”

It is with great sadness and gratitude that we post what many in the congregation are already aware of.

Kingshill School is closing its doors this Spring after graduation.

Here is the article which appeared in the AVIS.

We’re so proud of our Janie Koopmans and the school. Many are aware of the enormous ministry she provided to the school, starting it and directing it without financial compensation. Janie, you are an inspiration, as are the teachers who gave their all to these kids.

We’re also impressed with Janie’s testimony that Kingshill’s closing will help other private schools who are trying to cope with the new fiscal realities here on St Croix due to the closing of Hovensa.

For many years, the St Croix Reformed Church provided space and utilities free-of-charge to the Kingshill School. It was a major mission, and one that will continue on as those children grow up and thrive because of their time at Kingshill School.

Looking ahead….
The school’s closing will certainly spur us to “dream new dreams” (Acts 2:17).  We invite all our members to consider how we as Christ’s ambassadors on St Croix can use our resources, our building, and our faith to serve others in need.

We don’t know what Pastor Rod is happier about…

The new windmill, or the new road going up to the church…

(Dear visitors to this page, we apologize for our giddyness over so much asphalt. If you’d like to buy one of the leftover mules used to ferry worshippers up the hill on our old road, please call Pastor Rod.)

BTW…

WAPA has finally done it’s final inspection and ordered the correct electric meter for the Wind Turbine.

If patience is a virtue, we live on the most virtuous island in the Caribbean!
