A MESSAGE FROM MR. VINSON
May each of you enjoy the time off from school and the changing of the seasons as we rest in the peace that comes from the resurrection of our Savior!
LAST WEEK IN CHAPEL
Mr. Higgins challenged our students from Luke 9:51 and the major turning point in Christ's ministry where He set his eyes on Jerusalem. The challenge was "Christ fixed His eyes on Jerusalem and the Cross for us. Will we fix our eyes on Jesus?" Mr. Higgins further challenged us to return to our first love just as the church of Ephesus was told to do in Revelation 2:2.
APRIL MEMORY VERSE: ROMANS 8:28-29 (ESV)
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
