Students 'Set A Fire' at LCA

"You bring the fire, I'll provide the sacrifice."  This is the motto of the new student-led Bible study, Set a Fire, led by ninth-grader Leanna Harbottle and eleventh-grader Ruth Torres.  According to Harbottle, the group's motto means, "God's providing this Bible study or 'fire' for us. We provide the sacrifice by giving God the glory we're called to give Him." She added that this should send a message that "God will help you if you let Him."

“The purpose of Set a Fire is to glorify God,” Harbottle said. She feels that students should take advantage of the opportunity to grow closer in their relationship with God.

 “The Bible study can help open their eyes to truth in spiritual matters,” she added.  Harbottle said she hopes the study will open everyone's eyes to what God wants. "It's gone well so far, so I believe it will only excel from here," she remarked. "It also shows us who's serious about the study with who shows up and who says they will." Set a Fire is held in the elementary cafeteria on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 7:40 to 8:10. Students in grades 6-12 may attend and should bring paper, a writing utensil, and -- of course -- a Bible.
