UPCOMING EVENTS
GREETINGS!
January has quickly come and gone. We have certainly been blessed with much already this year. As we enter that last half of the school year, let us continue to be thankful for all of the blessings in our lives; let us continue to work towards becoming more active disciples of Christ, and let us pray for the wellness and health of all those in our families and community.
Blessings!
