"Since we have been made right with God by our faith, we have peace with God. This happened through our Lord Jesus Christ, who has brought us into that blessing of God's grace that we now enjoy. And we are happy because of the hope we have of sharing God's glory." Romans 5:1-2 

When we look at the cross, we feel only gratitude. We thank You, Father, that on the cross You provided forgiveness for our sins, purpose for our lives, and an answer for our death. We believe that the tomb couldn't hold You in and that death couldn't keep You down. We believe that when we speak to You, Father, we are addressing the death conqueror. 

Please join us in praying and thanking God for the following schools this week:
