What Happened in Chapel this Week?

This week in Chapel, PreK-4th grade finished out our month of looking at what it means to be a Beauty Maker by imagining the wonder and beauty of heaven. Mr. Montgomery shared with students some of the vivid imagery in Revelation that outlines what the final restoration of all things might look like. 5th grade through middle school spent time in Bible studies this week also reviewing what the Bible has to say about the beauty of God and the ways in which we too can create beauty around us.
 
Next month, we’ll begin exploring what it means to be an Order Discoverer. We’ll talk in chapel and throughout the month how God has created order out of chaos. We’ll talk about His purpose, and that we are able to discover the order in the things God has created because He has a plan, and we are part of that plan. Please join in praying that next month will be a time of exploration and learning for our students about the orderliness of our God. 
Missions

Many of you may recognize these two faces, but for those of you that don’t… Miss Mysnyk is a former Heritage student and teacher, and she is currently serving as a global worker. Anani is the sweet boy from Togo that we sponsor as a school through Compassion International. We encourage you to be praying for them, as we continue to pray for them at school with your children. Students will be given a card (see below) to remind them to pray as well. Students are welcome to contribute towards Anani’s sponsorship (through Compassion International) through giving money at chapel during offering. Thank you!
 
“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17

Please pray for:
·        Protection (physical, spiritual, emotional, etc.)
·        Boldness (to share Jesus authentically and powerfully)
·        Peace (people of peace to help share the Good News)
·        Assurance (that God is with them and is for them)
