School News - Week of 11/29/2021
Chapel Offering Update
Our second quarter chapel offering project is off to a great start! So far, students have brought in $471.38. The ministry on which we are focusing is Emanuel's radio ministry. Our church broadcasts the Saturday evening service every week for those who are unable to physically attend church for a variety of reasons. With the money we have currently raised, the school will be sponsoring services broadcast on December 12 and January 9.
