Middle School Lock-in - Oct 24

The HCS middle school lock-in is set to take place on Friday, October 24, from 8:00pm-6:30am on Saturday, October 25. This is a fun time of games, food, and fellowship. A speaker will also be invited to encourage and challenge the students in God’s Word. More information, along with a permission form, will be coming home with your child the beginning of October. We hope all middle school students will be able to come! If you have questions, please contact Mr. Ridder (ridderj@hcs-nl.com), Mr. Sheyko (sheykom@hcs-nl.com), or Mrs. McDonald (mcdonaldn@hcs-nl.com). And please be praying for GREAT SPIRITUAL IMPACT for those in attendance. Thank you! 

Thank you Heritage H.A.N.D.S.!

Thank you to Heritage H.A.N.D.S. for purchasing an additional bike rack for the school! If you noticed recently, we have a lot of bikers and the rack was overflowing. This is just another way that Heritage H.A.N.D.S.'s fundraising throughout the year impacts our student life and provides for needs in little and big ways!

Before and After School Supervisors Needed

We could still use a couple of more Before and After School Supervisors to round out our great team. If you know someone who loves working with kids and is looking for a part time job, send them our way. The time commitment is from 7am-8am and/or 3:30-5:30pm each school day (you do not have to be available every day). Hourly rate is $15.23. If you know someone who is interested, contact our Extended Care Coordinator, Cassidy Scott at scottc@hcs-nl.com.

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)
