ENRICHING OUR LIVES THROUGH WEEKLY CHAPEL
Chapel is held every Wednesday at 8:30am in the sanctuary. Families are always welcome to attend chapel with their child.
Offerings- Each Wednesday we collect a special chapel offering that will go to various charities. This is optional and can be sent in with your child on Wednesday mornings.
Chapel was led by the 3rd grade. Students, faculty and families enjoyed learning about how God uses our feet to guide us and to spread His word.
Chapel Offering- $37.40 Year to Date- $1042.91
PRAYER OF THE WEEK- for Christian families, that the Lord would provide the assistance and tools necessary to overcome every challenge — big or small — that might drive them apart.
