Remodeling project becomes reality on Giving Tuesday

Mrs. Teleah Valles-Peters, Director of Development, kicked off a day long fundraising effort at chapel on Monday in partnership with the Bill and Melinda Foundation and Facebook Foundation to raise 25,000 for a remodeling/update of the lunch room.  On Tuesday morning students and staff were encouraged to make a Facebook fundraising page and to contact friends to support this drive.  Many students excited about the possibilities created their pages and waited.  The staff got involved as well.  Today Mrs. Valles-Peters announced on a live Facebook event that friends had raised $24,270.00.  She is hopeful that in the next few days that the remaining $730.00 will be given.  To watch the announcement go to our Facebook page.

The next day in chapel Mrs. Valles-Peters announced that the final $730.00 was donated.  To see this announcement go to our Facebook page.

Students take a week to focus on Jesus

Starting at Indian Creek Camp and continuing each day at school Pastor Kevin Bowen is sharing the story of Peter and asking the question “Why do we doubt?”  Each meeting is started with our Praise Team leading students and staff in worship.  Then Pastor Bowen shares stories about his family and long time friend from college Chaplain Jamieson to illustrate the truths found in the bible.  At the end of the week there is a vespers service that includes some light food and a time to commit to Jesus at the beginning of the year.
