This week's newsletter is a recap of this past week at GCA. Let's start with a miracle...
CHRISTIAN'S SURGERY WAS A SUCCESS
Last Friday, we were urgently praying that Christian's surgery would go well, and it went so much better than anyone dared hope! The surgeons reported that the tumor was removed completely in tact and that the major surgical procedures they anticipated were completely unnecessary. Simply put, God healed Christian and used his surgery as a testimony of His power.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your healing power. Thank you for performing a miracle in Christian's body. We give You praise and glory for this amazing act! Thank you!
HOMECOMING WAS A LOT OF FUN
Despite some horrendous traffic throughout Hampton Roads, we had a great turnout for our Homecoming on Tuesday. The parade was fantastic, the block party was so much fun, the basketball team played well, and the Homecoming Court presentations were amazing.
Check out GCA's Facebook page for pictures and descriptions of the event.
ELEMENTARY SHOWCASE WAS FANTASTIC
On Thursday night, GCA's 1st grade-5th grade students showed us a little of what they've learned this year. Spoiler: It's a LOT. Great job, students. You did a wonderful job showcasing your academic successes. You can see some pictures of this event on our Facebook page as well.
There are a few events listed below, but I really just wanted to take today to be grateful for the great things we've seen this week.
Remember, you are Gateway. Let's Go Crusaders!
