Faith in Action
Makes Ordinary Extraordinary
“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” I Corinthians 10:31b
Dear Berkeley Hills families,
This week, we celebrate one of my favorite holidays.
Thanksgiving is such a blessed time
filled with family, friends, and, of course, good food!
I am so thankful the Lord has allowed me to be a part of your children’s lives
. What a blessing to see their smiling faces each day. I pray your Thanksgiving is filled with the goodness of the Lord!
I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. Psalm 9: 1-2
Blessings,
Mrs. Hyland
Berkeley Hills Principal

Mrs. Laird Visits Berkeley Hills Chapel
Last week, the Berkeley Hills Campus gave an Eden Family welcome to Mrs. Laird! In chapel, Mrs. Laird reminded students of the importance of listening for God’s voice in their lives. Experiencing that challenge in a real way, students listened for the voice of a friend giving them direction while they navigated blindfolded through an obstacle course with lots of noise in the background. Life can be like that!
We realized that it is easier to hear the Lord when we are quiet. Are we taking the time to listen or are we too busy? The more we know His voice, the easier it is to hear Him clearly even when facing a difficulty.
Thank you, Mrs. Laird!
