  • As Students Prepare for School, Here is a Back to School Prayer to Speak Over Them:

    Heavenly Father God,

    As a new school year begins, we come to you with open hearts. We ask for your grace, peace, and wisdom as we step into our classrooms.

    • For the Students: Lord, give them eager minds and quiet focus. Keep them safe from harm, help them to be kind friends, and give them courage when work is hard. Remind them that their value does not come from grades, but from your great love. 
    • For the Teachers and Staff: Grant them deep patience, joy, and strength. Give them the right words to encourage every student and the wisdom to guide their classrooms well. 
    • For the Families: Calm any anxious thoughts at home. Fill our hearts with trust, knowing you go before us and hold our hands through every high and low.

    Bless this school year with growth, safety, and kindness.

    In Jesus' Precious and Powerful Name - Amen.

  • Heat Advisory - PLEASE BE SAFE!!

    Just a reminder that during vacation and outdoor events, PLEASE be safe in this summer's intense heat wave!  Make sure to:

  • Let Us Continue to Pray Without Ceasing, Especially During These Times..........

    Matthew 24:6-7 NKJV:

    "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places".
