CHAPEL

Praise God for a school where students are not only permitted to speak up for their faith but they are eager to do so in a public forum and in the presence of their peers!!! God has been good to us again this week by bringing His Presence to bear through the personalities of four of our senior leaders. This week we heard the word through the voices of Abigail White, Kendall Wells, Hollyn Robertson, and Nolan Newberry. If their hearts and voices are emblematic of the next generation of church leaders then God’s kingdom on earth is in capable hands. A hearty lion nation thanks to each of you.

Please be in prayer for our final chapel next week as we end the year with three more “Senior Moment” legacy speakers: Megan Davis, Chapman James, and Sydney Lackey.
