Heritage MS Drama Presents...TONIGHT!
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.

What Happened in Chapel this Week
This week in Chapel, we continued to look at what it means to be an Earth Keeper and a Creation Enjoyer. Cindy Sulwer (Grace Community Church) shared with our PreK -4th grade students that all of God’s Creation points us to the wonder and majesty of Jesus. She asked a student to create a bird out of playdough – that “bird” looked like a bird but it didn’t have the same properties of the birds that God has created. She then brought out a chicken and shared all the intricate details of the chicken and how God created the chicken perfectly to do the all the things chickens do. She challenged students to look with wonder and awe at all of God’s Creation.
There was no middle school chapel this week as we celebrated the end of Operation G.O.O.D. with an all-school chapel. Students were able to celebrate the fact that they just finished a morning of service in the community where they both enjoyed creation and cared for what God has created.
We’ll continue to look at what it means to be stewards of God’s Creation for the next few weeks of school and pray that students continue to desire to serve and care for all that God has created.

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)
