"Building a firm foundation through Christ-centered education."

 

   

"...and the star, which they had seen in the east, went on before them until it came and stood over the place where the Child was."  Matthew 2:9b

TK students made ornaments for the tree.   Each student had the opportunity to share their part of the Christmas story before hanging their ornament.

  ~ It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ~  

 

TK enjoys playing in the snow brought in from Twin Peaks.  Thank you Mr. Perkins!

Last week's festive Instrumental Christmas Concert was enjoyed by many families.

"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.  Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."  
1 John 3:16, 18 NIV

A Sincere Thank You To Our PTF Volunteers

 

MCS would like to thank our wonderful volunteers for blessing the MCS Family in so many ways.  We pray that God will give you back tenfold the time you have given.  We appreciate all of you!

Veterans were honored at the Red, White, & Blue Breakfast coordinated by Hollly Bradford and her volunteer team.

We are grateful for your service to those who have served! 

MCS faculty and staff were blessed with a festive Christmas party due to the time and efforts of our wonderful volunteers and the hospitality of an MCS family opening their home to us. Thank you!
