A MESSAGE FROM MR. VINSON

Don’t forget to complete the re-enrollment process which is now open to all of our current families! We are so excited about the plans being made for next year and would love to have each of your children back with us for another exciting year at TCS. If you are experiencing any issues with the re-enrollment process or have any questions about next year, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me as I would love to provide any assistance or support you might need.

LAST WEEK IN CHAPEL 

Our students had the opportunity to write “thank you” cards to the many employees serving our community right now at both Fayette and Newnan Piedmont hospitals. The cards are being used as part of a larger initiative to provide gift baskets to the 4,500 employees at both hospitals. We are so thankful for those frontline workers who are giving so much time and energy to serve and care for the sick during this season.

JANUARY MEMORY VERSE: II Corinthians 5:20-21 (ESV)

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
