Heritage MS Drama Presents...
An Adaptation of And Then There Was One. This spoof, of the famous Agatha Christie stage mystery, is all comedy, filled with hilarious sight gags and dialogue. Ten people are brought together by mysterious invitation to the Reef Mansion located on a tiny, isolated island. Not one of them knows the host, and he is nowhere to be found. Just as each chocolate bunny inexplicably disappears from the mantel one by one, the guests begin to mysteriously die one by one. Good thing Inspector Miles is among the guests! Will he be able to solve this farcical case? Come find out Friday, May 13th at 7:00 PM in the Heritage Gym. Doors will OPEN at 6:30. *This is a free event.

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)
