opportunity to visit with the students and their chaperones!

STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Eph. 2:10
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in
them.” Even the good we do in this world is a gift from God, prepared
beforehand for us to do. And this too is
a gift! For isn’t doing good also a good
thing for the one who does it? So from
first to last, from the Lord’s free salvation given to us to the good works
He’s prepared for us to walk in, it is all a gift of God’s grace. T
BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
