Lower School Offering
Makes International Impact
|
|
In recent years, Prince Avenue Christian School lower school chapel began a special tradition. At a designated time during their weekly service, students hurry down the worship center aisles to make an offering donation at the altar. Two students stand in front holding bowls that have been crafted by dividing a globe in two, and their classmates enthusiastically place their donations inside. While the beloved offering tradition is a time for students to apply their Biblical worldview, it is additionally an opportunity to provide funds for Tanzanian children across the globe. |
