A message from our principal
In our prayer service this morning, Matthew’s Gospel told us about a vineyard owner who rents his property to tenants. The tenants abuse those who come to collect the harvest owed to the owner. Jesus uses this story to teach about what will happen to those who hear God’s word but do not accept it.
God (the vineyard owner) calls us to produce good fruit. How can I use my gifts to help others?
Jesus said that whatever we do to the least of his brothers and sisters and sisters, we do to him. How do we treat one another? Do we build each other up? Do we tear one another down? Jesus wants us to treat each other with kindness, love, and respect. LEARN, SERVE, AND LEAD.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve

Flu shots
The flu season is rapidly approaching. Vaccination is the most effective to prevent getting the flu. Please consider having everyone in your family, who can, be vaccinated against it. Click here for a very helpful link for parents from the CDC about the flu and the vaccination for it.
Remember, the flu is no fun for anyone!
