DIVERSITY WEEK (G.R.A.C.E.)

This upcoming week we are excited to celebrate the diversity of God’s creation as seen through Gender, Race, Ability, Culture and Economic status. Our goal is to help our students see that despite our differences, we are united in that we each bear the image of God as part of His special creation. Throughout the week our teachers will be focusing on this theme in each of your child’s classes. Please pray that this week will be an encouraging time of growth for our students as they learn more about God and what it means to be created by Him.
