of Sharing

is an offering that makes the love of Christ real for individuals and communities around the world who suffer the effects of disaster, conflict, or severe economic hardship, and for those who serve them through gifts of money and time. Today, projects are underway in more than 100 countries, including the United States and Canada. One Great Hour of Sharing funds make disaster relief, refugee assistance, and development aid possible.

Notes from the Preschool: preschool train

We were delighted with the outcome of the preschool's yard sale - over $1,700 was raised for playground improvements.  We hosted a crowd of very friendly, yard-sale aficionados, who enjoyed their browsing and buying. It turned out to be a great evangelism opportunity! Thanks to everyone for their donated goods.

 

Enrollment for next year is looking good. There are still openings for all age groups, so spread the word about our great school!
