Message from Principal Barnhouse

Dear Faith Families,

Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!!

What a beautiful statement that fills our hearts! Christ is indeed risen from the grave and provides life and the promise of resurrection in Him for all believers when He returns. What a wonderful, hope-filled promise we have!

I pray each of you carry the hope of Easter joy in your hearts in the days and weeks to come. It isn’t a promise for one day...it is the promise for every day of our lives! He is Risen indeed!
