Dear Parents,
Wednesday’s chapel service was led by Pastor Mueller. His message focused on us moving in the direction of Jesus throughout our life. He gave trains as an example. Wanting to get on board the right train to visit his family, it’s like us making sure we are “all aboard” the correct path throughout our journey with Christ.
Thank you to our field trip drivers for our upcoming field trip. We will be leaving Hope at 12:10 so please be here by noon. (Monday, May 11) Kids need to pack a “throw away bag” lunch.
