In this context, “rich” does not refer to having an extravagant life. Having riches or wealth means that we are doing God’s work - living according to His will and His way. And wealth isn’t the most important reward. Honor, a good name, is more desirable than great riches, says verse 1. The most reliable reward of humbly following God is life itself.

Abby’s Angels

National Teen Driver Safety Week is approaching fast!  It’s set for October 16-22nd and we are joining forces again with Abby’s Angels Foundation for a purposeful week of awareness. On Monday, 10/17 we will be modifying the schedule to allow time for an assembly presentation by Daquarius “Q” Greene who will be sharing his impactful story with our high school population. 

During this emphasis week we would like for students to wear the following colors in dress code attire (collared shirts). Friday will be the only dress down day where students may wear a pink shirt of any kind (short sleeve and long sleeve t-shirts accepted). If you choose not to participate, please be sure that you are in the regular dress code.

Assembly Schedule

Discipleship 201

Our school is dedicated to preparing today's student to impact tomorrow's world. A major part of that preparation is educating them on the depths and riches of the Love of God. This equips our students to carry the gospel into whatever future endeavors they have. We're excited to introduce our newest way to equip students for that future, Discipleship 201. Discipleship 201 will give students an opportunity to dive deeper and pursue the name of God through service projects, leadership opportunities, and added assignments. Each grade will have their own requirements and goals which will be defined by their grade-level Bible teacher. Discipleship 201 students will be celebrated at Honors Night and given a cord to wear at graduation. (Students who participate multiple years will receive multiple items) This program is optional for all students. If interested, please talk to your grade-level Bible Teacher or email kc.lorow@tcslions.org with any questions.
