Iowa Legislature - School Choice


The Iowa Legislature convenes on Monday, January 12, and school choice is certain to be a topic of discussion! State legislators need to know that their constituents support policies that give parents more options when it comes to educating their children. Let your legislators know you want them to prioritize school choice this session by signing this petition: Take Action | Iowa Alliance for Choice in Education

It's an easy, effective way to support educational choice for Iowa families!  Please sign by Monday, January 12th. Thank you!

Annual Fund Update

 

Praise God our Annual Fund total continues to grow! If you haven't taken the opportunity to support this important campaign, we encourage you to do so before the end of the year. Thank you for your continued support and generosity! As of today, we've raised $58,660!

Basketball Concession Workers Needed


If you are a basketball or cheerleading parent, love the game of basketball, or just want to serve at Heritage, we are looking for volunteers to work concessions at our basketball games this winter. All the jobs are easy to learn and any training needed before the game can be provided. High school students can also volunteer for silver cord hours. If you also have a responsible 4th-8th grade child that you think would be helpful, you can sign them up to work a shift with you as well. To sign-up, please use the sign-up genius link below.

Pray for the Nations

 

Please continue to pray for global workers Michael and Mary Pretorious and for our Compassion International sponsored child, Kossigan, from Togo. Students are welcome to contribute towards Kossigan’s sponsorship (through Compassion International) by giving money in their classrooms or the office. Thank you!

 

Please pray for:

·        Protection (physical, spiritual, emotional, etc.)

·        Boldness (to share Jesus authentically and powerfully)

·        Peace (people of peace to help share the Good News)

·        Assurance (that God is with them and is for them)
