Dear WA Community,
Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support for our students and school community. As we enter into the fourth quarter of study, please join me in praising God for His protection, provisions, people and providential blessings.
We are truly blessed by every member of our school community. As you know, it takes a body of believers to successfully educate and equip close to 1,000 students every day in Christ and God's Truth at WA. In all areas of our school ministry, we want to encourage everyone to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
Please continue to declare and demonstrate the liberating power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as we encourage everyone to exemplify Jesus Christ with our words, work and witness.
May the love, grace, patience, peace and wisdom of Jesus Christ be with each member of our learning community as we finish the school year strong and safe, in the arms of Jesus Christ. May our students and school community experience Jesus Christ in overwhelming ways, during the last quarter of study at WA.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).
Thank you for your unwavering devotion to Christ and your unchanging dedication to excellence every day at WA. Your steadfast prayers, grace-filled love and Gospel-driven Kingdom focus, are extremely appreciated.
Blessings to you and your family in the Name of Jesus Christ,
Leo Orsino
Headmaster

Can God Use Your Anxiety for Good?
In the journey of faith, there are particular moments that produce anxiety such as, "where should I go to college, whom should I marry, where should I look for work, and what will my friends think?" Author Rhett Smith joins host of "Homeroom" Laura Bishop, to discuss these anxieties from Smith's book, The Anxious Christian. They discuss how anxiety can actually be helpful in our spiritual formation, and that God can use anxiety as a catalyst to move people forward in their life of faith. It's time to get unstuck! "Homeroom" can be heard every Thursday evening from 9-10 PM on GRACE FM 90.3 FM, or on www.gracefmradio.com.
