Pieces of the Rock
Quest for His Kingdom
Matthew 6:33
Dear Parents, 

Welcome back! Here at school we could not be more excited that the sound of children once again has filled our halls! We started the year in worship together, with Pastor Steve leading us with a message centered on our theme for the 2019/2020 school year:
 
Quest for His Kingdom  

Pastor had his backpack loaded up with for different quests. From binoculars for bird watching, to a compass to find north, and a lot of school supplies used throughout the year in different classes, Pastor was equipped for his quests! We were then reminded about the tools we have for the most important quest and that is the Quest for His Kingdom! God gives us His word, parents and teachers along the way to guide and help us!

What a great reminder for our students and all of us believers! As we begin the Quest this year there will be times when we feel lost or alone along the way but Christ promises and guarantees us that He will guide us and protect us.
Thanks be to God!

Have a great year!

In Him, 
Chris Brune

Important Car Line Reminders
The beginning of the school year is always a great time to review some important rules for carline, especially in the morning. Thank you for your help is keeping our kiddos safe!

  • Do not let your kids leave your vehicle until you are in one of the first four spots. 
  • If your kids have left your vehicles from one of the first four spots, do not cut through the open lane to exit. For the safety of the other students exiting their vehicles, please wait until the car in front of you exits. 
  • If you park at the church and walk your child(ren) over, please use both crosswalks on Maysville Road and through carline to the main entrance. 
First Quest Activity
Friday was an exciting time here at school! Aligning with our school theme of Quest for His Kingdom, each month we will have a Quest that guides our chapel families through the armor of God. Friday we began our first quest! We went through a couple team building activities and then together had a scavenger hunt all over our campus, followed by a sweet treat and ending with some fun fellowship on the playground!
