Valley Christian Schools | Week of September 9-13

VCS Family Night at Football this Friday This Friday night features our first home football game of the 2019 season! Your Trojans host Arizona Lutheran Academy at 7:00pm. Our first home game is our VCS Family Night. All of our K-8 families will be receiving a family pass to attend this week's home game free of charge. For our K-8 students, the class or homeroom with the highest percentage of students at the game will receive an ice cream party! Be sure to check in at the main gate on Friday night when you redeem your family pass. For all of our new families to the high school, you'll be receiving an email as well with a family pass for Friday night. Friday Night Lights is more than a football game at Valley Christian. It is an opportunity for our students, parents, alumni, and community to all come together and cheer on our school and our students! We hope to see you there Friday night!

5th and 6th Grade Boys Bible Study on Thursday

A Bible study for our 5th and 6th grade boys will begin on Thursday, September 12 at lunch time. The Bible study will take place in Room 20 with Mr. Fryar. The Bible study will utilize the book "Building Faith: Block by Block". Each committed student to the study will receive a free copy of the book. This Bible study will encourage our boys to improve their game while building their faith. In both the virtual world and the real world, we have to make many choices. Mess up in the virtual world and you can always start over. But not in the real world, where the decisions you make have real consequences (both good and bad)! Where can you go for help? Is there an ultimate guide for living? Yes, it's called the Bible and God created it to help you have the ultimate victory!
