Bags of Blessing

Secondary students used Friday afternoon to pack and pray over blessing bags for the homeless. These bags of everyday essentials were made to be kept in vehicles. Therefore, when meeting someone in need, students will have a blessing to offer them. All together, about 50 bags were made to be handed out.

Students wrote encouraging notes with scripture passages to include in each bag they assembled.

5-minute accreditation survey
You will soon receive an email with a link to a very short and simple survey.  This is a survey of the families for the accrediting agency. School leaders will not see individual responses, only the totals. The information goes straight in the accreditation agency's survey web site area. Having a high percentage of responses is important. 
Thank you in advance.
