Dare to Love

The definition of agape in Greek is love. It is often defined as unconditional, sacrificial love. One word describing what God has shown towards us time and time again. We have celebrated friendship, love, and kindness this week, what an amazing way to end kindness week with an outward expression of love towards our community. Friday, February 16, join our TA Prep community in the gym at 4:30 pm for our Agape Feast. It will be a time for us to worship, fellowship, and share the love of Christ. Additional information is found in this week’s ROAR.

1 John 4:7-8
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

I dare you to love! 

Be Blessed,

Mrs. McCray
