Continued Prayers for Sister Susan Louise
In Sister's post surgery follow up, her doctor found cancer in one of her lymph nodes. However, her doctor is hope-filled about her long-term prognosis.
She will be starting chemotherapy and radiation treatments near her new home. She expects to be able to maintain her normal routine during her treatments.
Please join me in continuing to prayer for Sister Susan Louise's full recovery.

Martial Arts Reinforces Family Values
MBA Majest and Holy Cross Academy have partnered again to provide opportunities for your child to develop and become leaders in our community. Through taekwondo, students gain a sense of self. With physical and mental challenges, students are successful in overcoming obstacles they felt were impossible. At the cornerstone of MBA Majest’s curriculum, is respect. We emphasize the importance of respect for self and others as we teach beyond the kick and punch. 
 
To experience taekwondo with your HCA family and friends, please contact us for more information. We still have room in our vanpool after dismissal.
