Merry Christmas from the staff at Heritage! We pray that each of you has a blessed Christmas celebrating our Savior's birth with family and friends and send wishes for a joyful New Year! Enjoy the break and we look forward to seeing you back on January 3rd!
Head of School Search Update

The HOS Screening Committee has been reviewing applicants and we have started the initial interviewing process. We will continue with the vetting process and hope to give more details at the upcoming ICACSA meeting on January 18, 2022. Please continue to pray for wisdom, discernment, and trust, as we wait on God’s provision for our next Head of School. 
Annual Fund Update

Praise God our Annual Fund total continues to grow! If you haven't taken the opportunity to support this important campaign, we encourage you to do so before the end of the year. Thank you for your continued support and generosity! As of today, we've raised $48,065!
What Happened in Chapel this Week?

This week our theme of being a Servant Worker came to an end. Natasha Miller spoke with PreK-4th grade about Jesus’ example of service to us and focused on the opportunities we have to serve others for Jesus – including what it means to be a missionary and help people see Jesus who otherwise might never get to know Him. Our 5th through Middle School classes spent time in their Bible Study groups looking at various examples of service.

When we return in January, our theme will be Beauty Makers. We’ll explore how Beauty Makers glorify and praise God by creating that which is beautiful and pleasing to Him. We’ll learn that our offering of creativity isn’t optional – it’s a joyful duty that we have to offer as a sacrifice of praise. And we’ll explore how all of Creation shouts that God is a God who loves diversity, complexity, and creativity. Please pray that January will be a time of great exploration and that students will see that, “By Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him” (Colossians 1:16).
