MR. WHEELER’S WEEKLY WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
It is hard to believe we are only four weeks away from the start of another exciting school year! I pray your family is continuing to enjoy a season of rest with meaningful time together considering summer brings great blessings. .
As August draws closer, I encourage you to begin preparing not only your schedules but also your hearts. Spend time together in God's Word, pray for the year ahead and ask the Lord to prepare each member of your family for all He has in store. I believe the strongest foundation for a successful school year is a life centered on Christ.
We are eagerly looking forward to welcoming everyone back to campus and partnering with you as we continue helping our students know God more deeply and make Him known more faithfully.
As we continue walking together, may we know God more deeply, make Him known more faithfully and trust Him to guide every step we take. May the Lord bless you and your family this week.
