First Grade's Artwork Donated to Zion's Auction

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 3:18

I have seen so much growth this year.  It is hard to believe that it is fourth quarter and these first graders will soon be second graders.  I’m sure you have seen the growth also.  What a joy to see these children grow academically, but more importantly spiritually.  This class amazes me everyday.

 Zion is excited to announce that the 1^st -3^rd grade students will be 

putting on a performance of “We Like Sheep” on

Friday, May 4, at 7:00.  

Please mark your calendars now. Plan to attend this exciting event! 

      

Please read the letter at the end of this blog.  

It contains information from Mrs. Gilmore about needed items for the musical including costumes, props, and parent helpers.  This is part of our first grade music and everyone will be part of our musical.  

I have told you that Lent is my favorite season of the church year.  I want to encourage you to attend the special services on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.  Maundy Thursday service is a dramatization of the last supper.  Maundy Thursday is April 5; the services are at 3:30 and 7:00.  Good Friday is a powerful Tenebrae service that focuses on Jesus last day.  It is such a moving service and helps to make Easter an extra special celebration.  Good Friday is April 6; 
the services are at 3:30 and 7.

Enjoy the video of our class singing the President’s Song.

In Him,
