The ROAR
No.31 May 5, 2024
I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me... Jonah 2:1
MORNING DEVOTION SCRIPTURES
This week Mr. Yearwood concentrated on the story of Jonah. There are so many lessons to be learned from this story for students and adults alike.
In the upper school several students have started stepping up to lead during morning devotion time. This is so exciting! We are incredibly proud of them and thankful for what God is stirring in their hearts!

It was a great night of laughs, smiles, and thankfulness to God.
