Happy Halloween from Evergreen Academy!

Thank you to all of the teachers, administrators, and families who made the annual Evergreen Academy Halloween festivities so special. We enjoyed seeing all of the creative costumes and smiles!

First Friday in November

The Cove Waterfront Restaurant

1754 SE 3rd Court

Deerfield Beach, FL 33441

(The Cove is the flagship restaurant of the Cove Shopping Center and recently reopened its indoor dining area following a renovation by new owners. The shopping center is located on the south side of Hillsboro Blvd. between Federal Highway [US1] and the Intracoastal Bridge.) 

Don't make dinner plans and come as you are! We enjoy delicious food and one another's fellowship. We each pay our own way, but everyone is invited to the table — friends, family members, and neighbors!

This Sunday: All Saints Sunday

In holy baptism God makes saints out of sinners. In holy communion God forgives the sins of all the saints. In worship today we give thanks for all the saints “who from their labors rest.” In the same breath we petition our God for the strength to hear and to heed the admonitions of Jesus in today’s gospel. Sealed by the Spirit and sustained by the Savior’s body and blood, we live with joy as God gives us breath, to the praise of God.
