ALLELUIA CHRIST IS RISEN
HE HAS RISEN INDEED ALLELUIA!
Easter Sunday the woman were met at the empty tomb by an angel telling them that Jesus is no longer dead. He is alive! We celebrate Christ resurrection as He conquered sin, death, and the devil. May we continue to celebrate the new life that Christ has won for us. May we boldly tell others that Christ is Risen, He has RISEN indeed, ALLELUIA!

I am still trying to come up with something our class can do to help the Albritton Family and show them our love and support. I know that they have not been to the grocery store for a long time and there is a website to sign up for meals. If anyone has any ideas of how to provide christian support to this family please let me know. At the very least keep them in your prayers.
Christ is Risen, HE IS RISEN INDEED!
Continue the celebration of Easter this weekend in church!!

Seeing
changes outside, but wonder what is happening inside the walls? Lots!
Mark Lekar, Marc Debrick, and others will be conducting tours to members and
school parents interested in seeing the progress inside the school’s
construction zone.
The
tours will take place this Sunday, April 27 from 10:30 – 12:30 pm
The building will be open during those times and we will ask entry into the new
buildings to be through the school hallway doors adjacent to the kitchen and
Miss Limback’s room (inside the main school building). Please, no
access by crossing any fence lines (too many obstacles and possibly mud
if you cross a fence). You will be free to roam once inside and several folks
will be present to answer questions. Please be cognizant that this is a
construction site and all smaller children must be kept in check to avoid any
possible injuries – we want all to visit and enjoy the excitement but caution
that all must be careful while the site is open.
We have been working on being independent at centers. Here is a look at our centers this week.
