School Chapel Services
Our school family worships each Wednesday morning at 8:40 a.m.
During chapel, students and teachers have an opportunity to celebrate the grace of God that is ours through Jesus Christ. Chapel is also used for making announcements, giving special awards, etc. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend chapel at any time. During the last chapel of the month, students’ baptisms will be celebrated.
Offerings are collected during chapel from the students using their weekly offering envelopes (which are sent home at the weekly Tuesday Yellow envelope). These offerings allow students to develop a pattern of giving as a part of their Christian lives and to share God’s love by supporting missions and charities. Therefore, we encourage students to give from their own money (allowances, earnings and the like). Their offerings provide schooling and supplies to Christopher, who lives in Ghana and other local and international organizations.
School theme: Connection
Theme verse: John 15:1-5 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
