Spiritual Emphasis Week      

We had a great week during spiritual emphasis with Rick and Mick. We held two chapels a day for middle and high school students, and one chapel was held during the week for elementary students. Rick and Mick spent time counseling students who came and asked. The two highlights of the week were the small group time on Tuesday and the testimony time on Friday. Many students came forward to share what God had been doing in their lives, and students were given an opportunity to pray together. It was awesome to see students coming together in prayer. Please continue to pray for our student body as they continue to grow in the Lord.
