"ENOUGH" [a conversation about worthiness] THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12th 8-9:30 am with author and blogger Dr. Kelly Flanagan

About MCS Legacy Events - Legacy events are a part of our Parent Enrichment/Education offerings. These are mornings that serve to intentionally help us pause and reflect and evaluate how we are building our legacy as parents and as a families. We lean heavily on experience from speakers who are either one step ahead of us in parenting, or who are able to share from a perspective that provides wisdom, inspiration and insight.

We are tremendously proud of our students, families, teachers, and leaders who, with their combined efforts and experiences, affirm MCS's reputation as the premier Christian school in Orange County. We hope you see beyond the photos and videos to recognize the MCS mission of "building a firm foundation through Christ-centered education" at work in the lives of HIS precious children.

Scouting Makes a Difference! As MCS parents, you want your son to grow up to be self-reliant, dependable and caring. Since 1910, Cub Scouts have been weaving lifelong values into fun and educational activities designed to assist parents by strengthening character, teaching participatory citizenship, promoting physical fitness and inspiring leadership. For over twenty years, Mariners Christian School has sponsored and supported Cub Scout Pack 0360, for boys in 1-5 grades at MCS.

Our Back to School Kickoff Pack Meeting is next Tuesday, 9/12, from 5-6 PM in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) at MCS, just before Back to School Night where we will be hosting a booth with photos, flyers, calendar and other fun handouts like patches.

Want to learn more? Contact Cubmaster Brian Cowell at [email protected] or Pack Chairman JR Richardson at [email protected].

Yours in Scouting,
