It's time for our annual PTL fundraiser. PTL sponsors only ONE fundraiser per school year to raise money to support all of the activities that PTL sponsors. We work with a company (APEX) that helps us raise funds while we help the kids develop skills to be Christian leaders now and in the future. This year our big event is scheduled for THURSDAY, FEB. 27. Preschool - 3rd grade are scheduled in the late morning and 4th-8th in the afternoon. All of the details will be shared with you as we get closer to the event. Parents are always welcome to come watch and/or help out with the event. This year's event will be an OBSTACLE COURSE. Mrs. Stoneburner is the contact person for questions.

Have you ever closed your Bible and thought “what did I just read?” Starting January 12, we will partner with The Bible Recap to read through the Old Testament. The Bible Recap is a chronological reading plan with a daily podcast that highlights and summarizes the Bible in an easy-to-understand way. It will not only help you read scripture but help you love reading it. Click the button below for the reading plan or paper copies are available in the Lobby and Narthex.
