Mr. Brady led chapel.  He shared with us things that make people happy, cell phones, money, friends, the Cardinals, clothes ...  He told us these things will run out, break, let us down, and go out of style.  He then shared with us 3 things that will ALWAYS bring us JOY, these things will never run out, break, let us down or go out of style...GOD'S LOVE

           GOD'S FORGIVENESS

            SALVATION

What a wonderful message!  May we remember that God gives us Joy through His Son, our Savior.  GOD IS GOOD!
