Last Week in Chapel

Mrs. Randolph continued teaching our series, “Blessed”. Through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego our students learned that God has blessed us with total protection. We learned that no matter what we are facing, we do not have to become overwhelmed or worried because 1) God is in control, 2) God is bigger than the enemy, and 3) God can protect you.

Whatchagaddaknow: God Will Protect Me, So I Trust In Him!

Power Verse: “But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.” – 2 Thessalonians 3:3
