Last Week in Chapel

We had a great time in chapel together as we continued our CHURCH series! Pastor Kami talked about how we are called to worship God in all that we do along with some help from lots of fun friends in our elementary chapel. Kevin & Riley led us in the song “Here I am to Worship”. One student from each class helped act out our Bible story from 2 Samuel 6 when King David worshiped and danced before the Lord in celebration of the Ark of the Covenant’s return to Jerusalem. Chuck Foo helped us learn our Power Verse, which was: “…’You must worship the LORD your God and serve only Him.” Luke 4:8.

Whatchagaddaknow: “I will worship God with all of my heart!"

Here is a link if you’d like to talk about this important topic of worship with your student: Family Devotion.

Staying Informed and Up-to-date with Classroom Happenings

To stay informed of what’s happening in your child’s classroom, please login into Blackbaud weekly. You will be able to see information such as weekly classroom announcements, upcoming events, weekly academic focus, grades, attendance, etc. This is the key to staying informed and replaces hardcopy newsletters. I encourage you to login each week. Information will be updated each Sunday at 5pm.
