What Happened in Chapel this Week

This was the final Chapel of the year for our Middle School students (there was no PreK-4th grade chapel this week due to the Fine Arts Spring Concert). Using Mark 7:24-30, Mr. Montgomery shared with students the story of Jesus healing the Syro-Phoenician woman’s daughter. His challenge to the students as they left school for the summer – especially departing 8th graders – was that they make much of Jesus (as someone had clearly done for the woman in the story before she met Jesus), be bothered by Him (“when Jesus says something that seems hard or bothers us, dig in and see what’s really going on”), and remember how much He loves and cares for each one of them (“even the scraps of Jesus are enough to heal and save”).

Please continue to pray for our students as they end the school year – that they would finish strong and continue to pursue and make much of Jesus.

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)
