Evening of Prayer & Praise - THIS SUNDAY

Heritage Christian School warmly invites you and your family to join us for a special evening of prayer and praise as we dedicate the upcoming school year to the Lord! Together, we'll seek God's blessing, wisdom, and protection for our students, teachers, staff, and the entire Heritage community.

WHEN: Sunday, August 23, 6:00–7:00 p.m.

WHERE: We'll begin together in the school gym, then break out to pray at your kids' classrooms and around the building

WHO: Everyone is welcome—parents, grandparents, family members, teachers, staff, alumni, and friends of Heritage. Children are encouraged to participate with their parents. (Please note that childcare will not be provided.)

WHY: As we begin a new school year, we want to seek God's presence and blessing over every student, every classroom, every teacher, and every family. There is no better way to launch the year than together in prayer.



We hope you and your family will join us as we entrust this school year to the Lord. We look forward to praying with you!
