A MESSAGE FROM MR. VINSON
Thanksgiving Break is here! Oh the blessings we have to be thankful for this year. God has been so good to us this school year in more ways than I can count. I’m excited about a week off from school to celebrate all that we have to be thankful for here at TCS and within our families. May each of you have a safe and healthy week together with those you love!
LAST WEEK IN CHAPEL
Coach Carr spoke on our need to love God and to love others (Matt. 22:36-40) and explained that by doing so, we will begin to faithfully live out the tag lines for each of our Houses.
NOVEMBER MEMORY VERSE: Romans 10:9-10 (ESV)
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
