Bountiful and Cheerful Giving
By Donald M. Larson, PhD
|
In Exodus 35, Moses called on the Israelites to give as their hearts stirred them to the construction of the Tabernacle and its furniture: “All the men and women, the people of Israel, whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work that the Lord had commanded by Moses to be done brought it as a freewill offering to the Lord” (Exodus 35:29). The people gave from their hearts and not from a requirement. |

Opportunity to Offset the Cost of Tuition |
|
We are in the process of planning transportation needs for the 2021-22
school year. The bus driver who has driven for the school the past
several years will not be returning, so we will need to find new drivers.
Driving opportunities include the Waynesboro bus route, field trips, and some shuttling of students from campus to campus or to the Activities Center. To drive the bus you must possess a CDL license and a passenger-bus endorsement. These credentials can be obtained online through the DMV website. If you are interested in driving for the school or know someone who might be interested, call Randy Knight for more details. 540-430-6918 or [email protected]

Additionally, each senior's family will receive 3 tickets to the Senior Garden Party (Friday, May 28 from 6:30-7:15 PM). Only GCS seniors and up to 3 guests may join them for this event, which will then be followed by the Senior Dinner hosted at Emilio's Italian Restaurant in Staunton.
